Corporations have a "corporate immune system". Just as a biological immune system serves to protect its host from potentially damaging pathogens, the corporate immune system serves to protect the corporation from potentially damaging ideas. As the immune system is generally adaptive over time it becomes stronger, so the older the corporation the stronger its immune response becomes. This is why most old corporations are considered to be conservative in their approach to new ideas.
Unfortunately most large corporations have developed a hypersensitive immune system where the immune system actually serves to damage its host by attacking and failing to embrace new ideas which would be of benefit to the corporation.
Hypersensitive biological immune systems systems can be treated with medication but what is the appropriate treatment for a hypersensitive corporate immune system?
