Corporate Organizations
There are 3 basic organizational structures– each flawed in some way
In almost every political campaign, the opponent runs on the theme that they can successfully attack the huge waste, fraud, and abuse that exists everywhere in the government. Many will even have some facts showing how great this problem is, yet even after multiple successive new governments with this as a priority, the improvement is marginal at best. This is not conspiracy, but the symptom of a very hard problem that does not have an easy answer.
In my business world, I see two similar paradoxical hard problems that the simple answer never provides a meaningful solution. The first is sales cross-selling and the second is the re-use of designs (aka IPR management). Combine these two with the ever-present general corporate waste through communication barriers and you have the three justifications we typically see used for most every corporate reorganization. You also have the reason why almost no reorganization can solve the hard problems.
