Dear Miyachi, I have served at a few of the most Stalinist institutions in the world: US financial corporations. They talked about centralization of leadership and decentralization of responsibility incessantly. This is the way the US financial corporations are organized and I doubt that non-financial corporations are significantly different. Responsibility without authority is one of the most painful experiences I have ever had, where, in this context, with authority I mean ability to make decisions. What is the point of decentralized responsibility if those who are responsible have no ability to make decisions? Best, Sabri
