Large companies look pretty similar to a planned economy in a communist state. I remember in East Germany they had banners everywhere &quot;We will increase production next year by 50%&quot; or &quot;We are innovative&quot;. Guess what? A lot of companies do the same thing. Big banners, centralized control, tons of people just checking on what other people are doing. I am on a project where it&#x27;s two engineers doing the work with 5 managers looking over them. And if the work doesn&#x27;t get done we just need a new steering committee consisting of more managers.
