Abstract: Family owned businesses offer combination of a family in an economic project. To survive, it is necessary to maintain this association. However their natural developments expose those firms to the risk of distortion or even disappearance of the family character. Family business offers changes that require many revolutions. It?s all pulse offering renewal and rebound to succeed otherwise endanger entrepreneurial and family logic. The developments offer an analysis of the growth of the family firm carried out in a perspective of the evolution of the powers. They highlight the concept of family unit apprehended as the attachment of a family to a project. They allow to show the conditions of life of this unit. The identification of the risks of its denaturation reveals that its temporality based of regenerations relating to heritage and its control, economic project and its management, the collective imagination and its maintenance. The analysis of the evolution of powers model is applied to Hermès International S.A, a firm today almost bicentennial. The case offers an entrepreneurial story that shows a consistency in the pulse, in the exploitation of opportunities and in search of rewarding synergies. It offers prospects by an approach without concession made to preserve the family unit. It flows on the affirmation of an entrepreneurial family persistent model.
