In this paper we analyse how organisational design -considered as the numbers of individuals who make up the organisation, the activities performed by each of them and the amount of information they can privately obtain- can affect the capacity of the principal to control the private information to wich the members of the organisation have access.
 
Keywords: agency theory, organisational form, delegation.
