There's a company mentioned in The Tipping Point whose founder surmised that the opitmum number was around 100. He kept all his locations as self sufficient entities of no more that 100 people. The details escape me now, but some other hacker that has read Gladwell will no doubt fill in the blanks. |

The later Roman army was made up of eight (in the early republic, ten) soldiers per contubernium, which shared a tent and ate together. There were ten contubernia in a century. These numbers seem awfully familiar.
