Abstract

The dominant business form of this century, the hierarchically controlled multidivisional enterprise, is typically committee-commanded. commanded. However in the last quarter-century there has been a resurgence of leader-commanded firms. Two distinct types are identified. The more common is the diversified conglomerate. The other is the focussed agglomerate. The focused agglomerate has greater potential to eventually transform into a hierarchically controlled multidivisional enterprise.
