PART I

The Three-Dimensional Developmental Model

THE FIRST THREE chapters of this book present the three developmental dimensions that make up our model: ownership, family, and business. Each chapter explores the stages of one dimension in detail, providing the theoretical and conceptual foundation for our generalizations and conclusions about family business. In particular, we focus on the key challenges of each stage, which must be met as the system continues to develop.
