Deciding that no consultant could possibly comprehend so diverse a company, Mason two years ago began a huge reorganization from within. Finished last fall, it streamlined Carbide into 13 operating divisions in four groups, with Mason and three executive vice presidents as a committee at the top. The new system seems to work so well that Union Carbide now has an excellent chance-even better than that of finding life on Mars...
