Outline of proposed changes

 * For the Visible Hand section, the original contributor argues that Chandler's Visible Hand concept completely replaces Adam Smith's Invisible Hand ideology, thus no longer heeding Smith's ideas as necessary. I completely disagree with this point since Alfred Chandler, while it may appear as contrarian to the Invisible Hand, is merely an revolutionized extension and expounder upon what Adam Smith speaks upon. It takes the free market structure with its governance controlled by the market forces at hand (supply and demand), and builds upon it a organizational unit that fulfills the need of the larger populace thereby acting in the self interest of both business owners and customers. I will use my main source from Coastal Georgia College to drive this point forward.
 * As far as the Organizational Synthesis and Influence tabs are concerned, I will completely eradicate the Influence section and instead use the influence that Chandler had on business historians both back then and today in a continuous format with his stride towards organizational synthesis, which is merely an extension of the previous section on the Visible Hand argument. In this section, I will look at his initial argument for businesses to integrate both horizontally and vertically during the time of the 2nd industrial revolution, and then contrast it to the revisions that were made by influenced business historians who have taken note of Chandler's works and now possess the desire to expound upon it or revise it in order to evolve into a newer business stage: networking.
 * While I was tempted to create a whole article myself in order to stand as a more revised version of the original contributor's work, I do believe that he did an excellent job discussing Chandler's personal life, along with his educational background in a clear and concise manner that did not draw the audience away from the more important sections of the biographical contribution.
