Hi Alejandro:
I guess you mean that there is an "optimal" scale for management beyond which there are 'diminishing returns to management"?
While widely practiced by planners in the USSR and elsewhere, I'm
not convinced that optimization theory is appropriate for the
analysis of economics, including the economics of
enterprises (even though it is used by mainstream microeconomists in operations research, linear programming, et al).
In solidarity, Jerry
