| Abstract: | The development of the large modern corporation, and the separation of ownership from control, has raised questions about the objectives these companies set themselves. The article discusses the markets and hierarchies model of organizational structures. It analyses the claim that specific organizational structures lead to superior profitability. The paper concludes that relatively few firms have adopted the structure claimed to yield the highest profits. |
