Abstract
This research intends to continue the work undertaken by Allouche and Amann (2000) and then Arrègle and Mari (2010) proposing a state of research in the field of family business. We operate an analysis of articles published exclusively in French from 2000 to 2015 (79 articles) and provide an overview of research topics and future prospects. This approach allows us to highlight five advances: theoretical advances even though the fundamentals remain undiversified (1), a gradual shift of the level of analysis (2), a light decompartmentalization (3), methodological (4), and managerial advances (5).
