Whenever this has come up in the past, on other forums, it's been speculated that Valve is so profitable that it can get away with more or less any management structure at all and hence doesn't really serve as strong evidence that this particular style really works well or not.
- faitswulff 12y agoI think talent also plays a role. Profitable companies are capable of hiring poor talent. Valve hires the best, because they're both profitable and prestigious. A lot of smart, intrinsically motivated people may be able to find a way to organize themselves, regardless of management structure, whereas less talented employees may have different organizational needs.
