The Warwick Economics Research Paper Series (TWERPS) from University of Warwick, Department of Economics

Abstract: Multidivisional firms account for a clear majority of the hundred leading companies in America and Britain, and significant proportions elsewhere in continental Europe. Thus a sizeable proportion of total economic activity in Western, developed economies now takes place within the quasi-autonomous operating divisions of large industrial organizations, co-ordinated via a network of general offices.
