Large companies suffer from rigor mortis of the brain and bureaucratic
problems, just like too many government agencies. They can only remain
creative by buying smaller creative companies, in this case Reuters buying
Equis. The downside is that the absorbed smaller innovative company rapidly
suffers the same problems as the new behemoth owner.
