Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to locate and explain the formation of the large-scale industrial bureaucracies that have been the primary object of analysis of the subject of organisation studies. Our time frame focuses on the crucial period at the beginning of the twentieth century, but moves backwards and forwards in order to understand the process of emergence of such organisations as the foundation of business development.
