'''Technostructure''' is the group of technicians, analysts within an [[organisation]] (enterprise, administrative body) with considerable influence and control on its economy. The term was coined by the economist [[John Kenneth Galbraith]] in ''[[The New Industrial State]]'' (1967). It usually refers to [[managerial]] [[capitalism]] where the managers and other company leading administrators, scientists, or lawyers retain more power and influence than the shareholders in the decisional and directional process.<ref>John Kenneth Galbraith, ''The New Industrial State'', p. 71 HMCO 1967</ref>
