You're both right. There's always some mixing of the two. Culturally northern corporations tend towards the West Point Peter Drucker management by objectives schools of thought. Whereas the culturally southern plantation class is as you describe. Walmart is always my go to example. This also roughly tracks geographically with strength of Labor. To no one's suprise, the neoliberal (confederate) generations long assault on Labor means the southern style has been waxing. Hopefully, with the youngs' (Gen Y & Z) new found enthuasism for Labor -- in the form of life, liberty, and pursuit of justice -- the slave owners grip on our society will begin to wane.
