# Spotlight by CeFEO

> Spotlight by CeFEO is a digital research magazine that translates academic family business research into clear, practitioner-friendly summaries for owners, leaders, advisors and policymakers. Published by the Centre for Family Enterprise and Ownership (CeFEO) at Jönköping International Business School (JIBS), Jönköping University, Sweden.

Spotlight curates peer-reviewed scholarly research and publishes accessible summaries of each paper, written for non-academic readers. Every summary cites the original paper, names the authors, and links to the journal of record. The corpus spans succession, governance, ownership, entrepreneurship, strategy, innovation, internationalization, leadership, family dynamics, generational transitions, wealth, branding, sustainability, and other domains relevant to family-owned and -controlled businesses.
