Gundula Glowka is currently working as a doctoral student at the Family Business Center at Management Center Innsbruck, Austria. Before, Gundula Glowka completed her Master’s degree in International Business and Economy at the University of Innsbruck, majoring in strategic management and marketing. In her recent research, she focuses on the risk behaviour of small and medium-structured family businesses. Her research interests are on how owner-managers perceive, identify and deal with risks in such informally structured businesses. Previous studies therefore explore the link of Enterprise Risk Management on performance in small and medium structured family firms and the effect of family involvement and CEO tenure as moderating variables. In tourism, Gundula Glowka examines the risk perception of family business-owners and its impact on destination development.
