Boring question...company structures...

[Mithrandir]

I need to find the most frequent company structures of India, Poland, Germany, Great Brittain and Holland.

Whats the best way, or whats the translation ?

In Dutch it's "organogram" which is usually a picture like

Owner
|
---Secrataries
|
Management
|
employees

etc.

Thanks in advance...

The German term would be "Organigramm" - but I'm not quite sure if I understand what kind of information you are exactly looking for...

The following link would give you the org-chart of the German company "Bayer" as pdf-file:
Bayer
The supervisory board and the shareholders are not mentioned on that chart though.

With my one year of economics in high school I don't think I can help here, but I hope you do find someone else who can.

Congratulation Mithrandir, with your recent 4000th post. I just reached 1000 today.

P.S.: have you read my PM? I am now not in the foyer anymore, but still . . .

In the UK the most common company structure, by numbers of company registered, is the private limited company. Anyone may establish on of these simply by filing the necessary documents at companies house. The company is owned by the shareholders, who have certain powers under the Companies Acts, (approve the accounts, sack the board, change the memorandum and articles of association.) The company is run by a board of directors who exercise the powers of the company on a day to day basis. Directors are usually but not invariably appointed by the shareholders. The board of any reasonably sized company would usually have subcommittees with delegated powers, eg there would almost always be an audit committee.

The objects and the arrangements for governance of the company are set out in memorandum and articles of association, which take effect as a contract between the shareholders and can be publically inspected at Companies House.

Thje most significant company structure in terms of capitalisation is the public limited company, the basic structure is more or less the same but stock exchange rules govern share dealing and financial reporting.

I'm a civil servant, we don't have structure.

I'm a civil servant, we don't have structure.

But of course you do! In the interests of improving efficiency (sic), the structure is just changed by managerial committee once every quarter (they'd change it more often, but it takes a quarter for a new big boss to replace the old one and for the committee to come to "agreement").

Gah, now I have indigestion. Thank gawd I'm outta that fewkin' world.
