Abstract: Abstract One of the key indicators of the emergence of modern capitalism is the rise of large business enterprises operating many distinct units and managed by a hierarchy of salaried executives. This chapter examines different forms of organizational structures, their origins and implications. It also investigates the structure of several business enterprises in nineteenth-century Minas Gerais. This investigation assesses the degree of structural development of mineiro firms in the nineteenth century and relates it to the prevailing business environment.
