Corporate Newspaper Structure, Profits, and Organizational Goals

Abstract

I hypothesize that corporate newspapers charge more for advertising and are more profitable than noncorporate newspapers but, challenging the conventional wisdom, I expect that corporate newspapers place less emphasis on profits and more emphasis on product quality as organizational goals. Corporate newspapers are structurally organized to maximize profits. However, increasing role specialization, a characteristic of large-scale organizations, decreases emphasis on profits as a goal and increases emphasis on quality and goals other than profit. A national probability mail survey supports most of the hypotheses.
