Antwerp Management School has four Knowledge Communities, including the Family Business Community, that creates solutions and supports small and medium sized (family) businesses, through lectures and publications. It also offers training and provides new, output-oriented academic research. Content wise, it focuses on innovation, entrepreneurship and sustainability.
