Adams Corporation Case

Significant changes are in the works at the Adams Corporation. For more than 100 years, the corporation has been run as a family business, even in recent years when the family has had little real control over the company. Jerome Adams' departure gave the company the opportunity to either part ways with the past, or continue as a family organization. With the introduction of a complete outside to the organization (Price Millman), the company has chosen to leave its family company roots.

Today's Adams Corporation has a traditional hierarchical structure which is built on central planning. The central office makes the sales projections for each of the sales regions, and even determines what salaries are paid in these regions.
