| Abstract: | This paper tests Alfred Chandler's thesis of the managerial revolution. He's thesis is that the building of managerial hierarchies, clustered in a selected set of industries where the need for co-ordination was particularly high. Chandlerian industries are fast-growing, capital-intensive, and high-volume producing industries. This article compares latter with the other industries in the Netherlands and the USA. |
