Corporate Strategy, Structure and Control Methods in the United States During the Twentieth Century

Alfred Chandler

Chapter 9 in Organization and Strategy in the Evolution of the Enterprise, 1996, pp 223-245 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract My assignment is to review the United States’ experience in terms of organizational forms, strategies and control methods. Such organizational forms, strategies and control methods were responses to specific business challenges. As the papers that follow emphasize, responses to these challenges differed from nation to nation, reflecting different national business, economic, political and cultural environments.
