Something ive always been curious about. My boss owns 4 gas stations well his wife does but he runs them after they married. According to him she has nothing to do with them anymore. Also he has an electrical supply company, a roofing sales company (where i work) 4 apartment complexes which he inherited, and is now starting some kind of used car lot.
There is no way one man can possibly handle all of that and keep it going. Some people work all their lives just running a single small business. And all those managers reporting to him would be a full time job but he spends most of his time at the roofing co. Its the newest and is still being set up. Obviously he has help, but my question revolves more around autonomy. Of course there are people that own a lot more than that, he was just the only example I know personally.
Who in the hell do you hire that is qualified to oversee all that stuff? What does a person go to college for to run several different businesses at once? Or do you just hire the often cited and frequently parroted "managerial firm"? These firms must have limits of what all they will do. Somebody please explain
