Publisher Description: Riahi-Belkaoui argues that the multidivisional organizational structure is far superior to the standard, functional form of corporate organization. The M-form overcomes the problems of strategic direction and control implicit in the standard form, among other benefits, and, depending on the diversification strategy employed by the firm before reorganization is contemplated or implemented, it will positively affect a firm's profitability and productivity, while lessening its slack and financial risk. A research-based analysis, the book will be of particular importance to management accountants, professors and graduate students of management and accounting, and corporate staff responsible for organizational planning and development. |
