Men and Women of the Corporation

"Men and Women of the Corporation," by James Burnham, explores how organizations operate through a hierarchy of decision-makers and managers. It explains that the most influential individuals in a corporation are the managers who control resources and strategies, shaping the company's direction. Employees follow these leaders, creating a structured system where power and authority are centralized among those who manage and influence key decisions. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding this hierarchy and the roles of those within it to grasp how modern organizations function effectively.
