"Corporations once they reach a certain point become
undead, zombies to be specific. Think about it, any
corporation larger then about 30 people suddenly becomes
stupid and tries to feed on the brains of it's workers.....
Sounds like a zombie to me! Also, once they get powerful
enough, it's really hard to kill them, you really have to
hack them to bits..... again, like a zombie! They also tend
to turn any corporation they 'buy', i.e. eat, into a copy of
themselves, JUST LIKE ZOMBIES!!!!!!" --

Alternatively, "A business will do things too stupid for people to do. A government will do things too stupid for a business to do. The older and larger a business is, the more it comes to resemble a government."
I've heard a few stories which suggest that the single thing that will ossify a business fastest is selling stock to the public.
