Leaderless competitors

Chapter 7 in Business at a Crossroads, 2010, pp 123-144 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The hierarchical corporation run by, or rather under the control of, an omnipotent CEO, is not the only form of enterprise making a decent living these days. There are well-established traditions of dual leadership in publishing (editor/publisher) and the theatre (director/producer). Joint ventures, strategic alliances and other inter-firm collaborations comprise another class of enterprise in which control is in more than one pair of hands (see Chapter 9) and the partnership model still thrives in professional services, such as law and accountancy.
