VERLAGSTEXT: / Chandler uses eight propositions[3] to show how and why the visible hand of management replaced what Adam Smith referred to as invisible hand of the market forces: / that the US modern multi-unit business replaced small traditional enterprise, when administrative coordination permitted better profits than the coordination by market mechanism; / that a managerial hierarchy have been created for this multi-unit business enterprise; / that multi-unit business enterprise appeared for the first time in history in a time when the volume of economic activities reached a level that made administrative coordination more efficient than market coordination; / that once a managerial hierarchy has been created and had successfully carried out its functions of administrative coordination, the hierarchy itself became a source of power, permanence and continued growth; / that the careers of the salaried managers became increasingly professional and technical; / that the multi-unit business enterprise grew in size and diversity and as its managers became more professional, the management of the enterprise became separated from its ownership; / that managers preferred policies that favored long term stability and growth of their enterprises to those that maximized current profits; / that as the large enterprises grew and dominated major sectors of the economy they altered the basic structure of these sectors and of the economy as a whole. / (Quelle: Wikipedia) / /
