Central Management

SOME CEOS FIND A WAY TO WORK FEWER HOURS

Larry Ellison, chief executive of Oracle, rejects a management model he thinks too many chief executives follow of being "weak kings with strong dukes." Under this model, he says, CEOs allow business unit heads "to run their own show as long as they make their profit numbers." The CEOs may not know what's really going on in Japan or Chicago, he argues, and "it isn't terribly efficient since not everyone is following centralized processes."

Management Central

In the businesses I have worked before I found that management always tried to get their nose into everything even if you found a good legal flexible way to make work more efficient or cheaper so more profits could be made they would still want to change something.
