总部在现代企业中扮演着重要的角色，但总部的精简往往被认为是提高组织效率的一种方式。本文以2001-2011年的日本企业为样本，实证分析了总部职能规模的决定因素及其与生产率的关系。即使在一个行业内，总部职能的规模在横截面上的分布也很大。企业的复杂性导致总部规模较小。总部职能对公司的全要素生产率有积极的贡献。总部职能和信息和通信技术网络在提高生产力方面具有互补作用。
Headquarters play an important role in modern companies, but the downsizing of headquarters is often advocated as a way to improve organizational efficiency. Using a panel of Japanese companies for the period 2001–2011, this paper empirically analyzes the determinants of the size of headquarters functions and their relationship with productivity. The cross-sectional dispersion of the size of headquarters functions is very large even within an industry. The complication of businesses leads to smaller headquarters. Headquarters functions contribute positively to a company's TFP. Headquarters functions and ICT network have a complementary role for productivity.
