Abstract
How should diversified, multibusiness companies organize to implement the many different business strategies their organizations require? Twenty years ago the answer to this question was relatively straightforward—divisionalize. Once the scope of individual operating units making up a diversified firm became too large and too complex to administer within a single system, most of these firms switched to a more decentralized decision‐making divisional structure.
