Known for

Staff organization and the 'assistant-to'

Ideas

General staff positions in business. The military general staff officer serves the commander across all functions rather than in one specialty, and business can use the idea in assistant-to and general staff positions. Caveat: Only passages of the book were read, and the counts from its survey are not used.

In this section, “read” means read by the Organizational Structures series: where a line says a work, or part of one, was not read, the series did not read it.
