 abstract = {This study analyzes the changing role of pre-industrial family and bu­reaucratic traditions in the development of Germany's leading electrical
manufacturing firm. The Siemens company developed a decentralized, multi-divisional structure ten to twenty years before duPont and General
Motors pioneered a similar organization in the  United States. The pre­industrial bureaucratic traditions, considered in a multi-national context, facilitated the development of efficient modem management in Germany and help explain  the relative success of German industry in the two
decades before World War I.},
