Microsoft, HP, IBM) or governments(USG, China vs. Canada, Poland, Finland) or media (News, MTV, Cable) where large entities cannot function efficiently and only get worse as they become larger.
The only thing that works is some sort of self-organizing nature that similar to the way biological organisms form, which then end up creating neuron/brain like structures which form higher intelligence. Take a look at the universe, there is an interesting talk on how the Internet is starting to show that phenomenon, it's appearing more and more like a brain and may be starting to show some signs intelligence.
