TL;DR: In this article, the relation between corporate finance and organizational architecture is discussed, and the authors highlight several pedagogical insights using leasing as an example, and illustrate how corporate financing activities should be coherent with the broader organizational architecture of the firm.
Abstract: I discuss the relation between corporate finance and organizational architecture. In a recent book, Managerial Economics and Organizational Architecture (2001), my co-authors Jim Brickley and Jerry Zimmerman and I provide a systematic framework for analyzing organizational problems and structuring more effective organizations. We apply the term organizational architecture to three key aspects of the firm: (1) assignment of decision rights, (2) structure of systems to evaluate individuals and business units, and (3) the methods of rewarding individuals. In this article I illustrate how corporate financing activities should be coherent with the broader organizational architecture of the firm. I highlight several pedagogical insights using leasing as an example.

Just as scientists in other disciplines use experience and a small set of paradigmatic problems to structure unfamiliar situations, information strategy and economics provides its own set of paradigms to guide and structure the use of experience in managerial settings
