This document outlines the key characteristics of large-scale organizations (LSOs). It defines LSOs as those with 200 or more employees or assets over $200 million. LSOs are unique in that they have significant political influence, can produce goods and services cheaply due to economies of scale, have many stakeholders, operate globally, and have formal management structures. The typical management functions of LSOs include operations, finance, human resources, marketing, and research and development. The document also discusses multinational corporations, which are owned and based in one country but operate in many countries worldwide.
