| Tiivistelmä: | This article investigates how multi-unit corporations can effectively coordinate the evolution of their growth iniatives. It bases upon research on coordination and identifies four ideal modes (agenda-setting, context-setting, directing and self-organising) that corporations can adopt as a means to dealing with their growth ambitions. These coordination modes are shown to represent differnet options for corporate management and have different implications for the role split between top managers and managers on subsequent levels. Primary and secondary data from 51 corporations based in Europe, North America and Asia is used for illustration. |
