Abstract

Three subsystems sustain the lifecycle of family business (FB); family, ownership and business. This article’s purpose is to show how the 7 Ss Framework can be used to identify different aspects of FB behavior during its lifecycle, together with the three-dimensional lifecycle model as a tool to identify changes that influence both growth and the process of building a “well-performing” organization. The proposed model was tested in a family business in Brazil (RBS Group). The conclusions lead to a clear comprehension of family business evolution, as well as of the organizational foundations that sustain the creation of a well-performing organization.
