I never understood why at super-large corporations they would centralize operations for critical stuff (infrastructure, etc) under monolithic organizations when they are large enough to create multiple competing organizations to provide the services: office space, servers, databases/software, laptops, etc.
But then again no company really like competition unless the game is fixed in their favor, and neither does middle management.
Because the legal construct of the corporation diffuses risk enough to make central control appealing.
If the law did not allow incorporation, in other words if officers and directors and shareholders bore full liability for the business, we would see the end of gargantuan businesses like we have now.
