Corporations are composed of plants and stores and offices which interact with each other within the firm, and with the units of other companies. These facilities perform specialized functions and have discrete locations, and there are flows of goods and information between them. Corporations develop production systems and distribution systems and administrative systems to integrate and coordinate these components.
