>>107750531The Japanese have a hard-on for monolithic retarded management systems.
The only thing it trends towards is failure. They love to mimic Americans in this regard, why I will never know.
Look at IBM for example, one of the kings of the IT industry, now a relic because their management got worse and worse over time.
They sold off most of their business and only exist as a pure legacy at best, mostly because companies have been locked in to working with them so long that it'd be more costly to move.
A mere service company than a company that produces. Anything they do produce is so fucking far behind everyone else because of said monolithic management.
As soon as management bloat starts to take over a company, it goes exponential and eventually crushes the company.
"Wow management is too slow right now. I know, we can hire more managers to help streamline things."
"Wow, things got slower! Oh, I know, more managers for those managers!" and so on.
They never know when to stop until it is too late.
This is the kind of thing that kills most companies over time. The ones that survive usually survive because they either end up bankrupt and bought by some hedge fund who fires half the company, or they fire half the company themselves and end up repeating the same mistake again in 5 years.
