For the past decade and a half, the three-circle model has been the primary conceptual model of family business. This model views family enterprise as a complex system comprised of three overlapping subsystems: ownership, business, and family. The three-circle model is an excellent tool for understanding the dynamics at work in any family company at a particular point in time. In our more recent work, we found it useful to transform this three-circle concept into a developmental model in which each of the three subsystems moves through a sequence of stages over time (Gersick, Davis, Hampton, & Lansberg,1997). For example, in our developmental theory, family business ownership moves from a Controlling Owner (CO) stage to Sibling Partnership (SP), and then to Cousin Consortium (CC), or the company itself changes from a Start-Up and passes through other stages to Maturity. Many of our colleagues have offered similar elaborations. In fact, the most recent World Conference of the Family Business Network was organized around three stages in the development of family business ownership. There is no doubt that specifying the stages of family, ownership, and business development enhances our understanding of any family business.
