The subject of consideration of this article is the mechanism for the formation of public administration of the United States. The US public administration system is characterized by continuity in domestic and foreign policy over the past 70 years as a minimum. Elite groups that can fight for power in the US and have the appropriate resource base and the necessary tools are traditionally formed from representatives of big business and financial circles. The authors of the article aim to identify and determine the role and place of big business as a source of recruiting American elites, which have a key influence on US policy in the form and scale in which we observe it today. In this study, the authors set themselves the following tasks: to analyze the mechanism for the formation of the US public administration system through the prism of the experience of the American corporation ExxonMobile. This analysis is carried out by the example of the incorporation of its representatives in the person of the head of the company Rex Tillerson in the US government system for the post of Secretary of State. This analysis is accompanied by the study of the ExxonMobile company as the largest and most influential transnational corporation. To achieve the objectives, the authors used the following research methods: structural, system, functional, comparative and historical methods. The authors also used the methodology of economic science: the method of scientific abstraction, the method of normative and functional analysis.
