- Abstract
Are corporate size and efficiency positively related? New data from FORTUNE, permitting a broad definition of "efficiency," are applied to a test of this question. The efficiency data for 200 firms reflect corporate rankings on such attributes as quality -of management, quality of products or services, innovativeness, and financial soundness. Sales and assets serve as measures of size. According to these data, size and efficiency are not, in general, positively related, at least not with statistical significance.
