According to Weber this is the most efficient type of organization. This organization has well defined line of authority as well as clear rule that are strictly observed. How does Disney apply this type of organizational leadership?
The Walt Disney is lead by a CEO who supervises the every day running of the central branch of the Walt Disney Company.
