Managing large companies vs. managing small companies
The previous posted inspired me to do some research on managing large and small companies. I found an article about Alfred Sloan, who wrote a book called "My Years with General Motors", that discussed his concept of decentralized management in larger companies. The article said that Sloan mastered the art of market segmentation by developing concepts such as "Chevrolets for every man" and "Cadillacs for the wealthy". This market segmentation required for larger companies such as GM and decentralized management seem to go hand in hand.
