The Development of Modern Management Structure in the US and UK

Alfred Chandler

Chapter 1 in Management Strategy and Business Development, 1976, pp 23-51 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In recent years business practices in the United States and the United Kingdom have been converging. In both countries the largest and most powerful industrial enterprises now use much the same basic type of organisational structure. In 1970, according to one careful study, 72 of the 100 largest industrial enterprises in Britain were administered through some variation of the multidivisional form.1 The percentage had become higher in the United States.
