Abstract: Abstract Family business narratives connect the past, present, and future. This chapter offers an initial conceptualization of the parts of narratives dedicated to myths, through a systems view of the family business. Bridging literatures from different fields ranging from history to strategic management, family psychotherapy, and anthropology, we suggest a dynamic process of myth formation and transformation along with its impact on both family and business systems over the life cycle.
