  6. “It is perfectly true that top management must have the final say, the final responsibility. But the business enterprise of today is no longer an organization in which there are a handful of “bosses” at the top who make all the decisions while the “workers” carry out orders. It is primarily an organization of professionals...exercising autonomous, responsible judgment. And every one of them -- whether manager or individual expert contributor -- constantly makes truly entrepreneurial decisions, that is, decisions which affect the economic characteristics and risks of the entire enterprise.” Peter Drucker
