| Abstract: | This paper examines the relationship between organizational structure and operation and outage durations at nuclear power plants in the United States. It empirically examines Aoki's proposition that hierarchical control increases productivity in situations that are very stable or very uncertain and horizontal coordination increases productivity in intermediate situations. It describes a model of continuous production in which management chooses an organizational structure that minimizes the ratio of the hazard rates for operation and outage. |
