A second chapter about the organization of individual companies explains the role of the Board of Directors, Management Hierarchy, Reporting Channels, Line and Staff Functions, and similar matters. Finally, an extensive chapter about organization of groups of companies looks at different forms of Industrial Integration, Subsidiaries vs. Branches, Joint Ventures, Licensing, Franchising, Cooperation Agreements, and more.
