Abstract: | The predictions of economic theory are tested on the determinants of the allocation of decision making power through the estimates of ordered probit models with random effects. The results indicate that the complexity of plants' operations and organization, the characteristics of the communication technologies in use, the ownership status of plants and the product mix of their parent companies figure prominently in explaining whether authority is delegated to the plant manager or not. |
