Two Sides of a One-Sided Phenomenon: Conceptualizing the Family Business and Business Family as a Möbius Strip
将家族企业与其对应机构企业家族比作莫比乌斯带，解释这一比较的理由，丰富概念化并扩展至各类家族企业，提出过程模型解释家族企业界面的出现、存在和衰退，最后讨论研究启示。
This article compares the family business, and its reciprocal institution, the business family, to a one-sided band known as the “Möbius strip. ” After explaining the rationale for this comparison, the conceptualization is enriched and then enlarged to accommo-date the diverse range of firms identifying themselves as family businesses. Next, a process model is presented to explain the emergence, existence, and decline of the family-business interface. The article concludes with a discussion of several research-related implications arising from this comparison.
