Launch of The MGI Australian Family and Private Business Survey 2013
MGI Australasia is pleased to announce the official launch this week of The MGI Australian Family and Private Business Survey 2013, which is undertaken by RMIT University and supported by MGI.
By Maxine Brock, International Marketing Manager, MGI
Over the past 19 years the survey series has tracked the concerns and motivations of Australian family and private business owners. RMIT University’s Professor Kosmas Smyrnios and Mr Lucio Dana undertook the research, the eighth in the series, among 5000 Australian companies.
Sue Prestney, MGI Chairman, Australasia said “It is one of the longest running surveys of its type in the world and MGI is very proud to have supported the survey for the past decade.”
Survey sparks high profile interest in Government
The survey has generated a lot of interest from Small Business Commissioners and politicians at the State and Federal level in Australia. It has also generated a lead story in Australia’s most authoritative and popular business publication, BRW. As well as a lead story on the RMIT University website.
All this exposure and more can only be a good thing for MGI and its Members, to help raise our profile not only in Australia but across the international market as thought leaders in Family business.
