Corporate and Governmental Structures Differ Significantly by Design because each Serve Distinct Interests
Governmental Bodies are Political in Nature Requiring Deliberative Processes, which inevitably are slower and less efficient. Haste in a political environment invites conflict, turmoil, and sometimes instability Corporate Bodies operate in a completely different environment – the marketplace – which flows at a much swifter pace and where decisions are not based on political considerations, but rather are profit driven. Inefficiency in a corporate environment results in lost opportunity, reduced profitability, and sometimes failure.
