The Corporate Culture Machine
I recently read an article by Miki Saxon about the similarities between corporate culture and computers. Pretty fascinating when you realized most everyone equates the two to being quite opposing. When you get down to the nitty-gritty, the real "guts" so to speak, they are pretty similar.
A computer does exactly what its told. Now clearly silly humans can't be trusted to do everything PRECISELY as they are told to, so there are a few dissimilarities. But her theory is based on the input/output, in computer terms, I/O. Corporate culture will thrive when good things are implemented. When bad things are put into the mix, well, "garbage in, garbage out" as she puts it so eloquently. Read Miki Saxon's full article here.

Thanks, Matt. You're right about silly humans, but it would be a sad and boring world if they did do PRECISELY as told. No excitment, no innovation, no invention, no solutions. And to those who think it would be good—no crime, etc.—that would all depend on WHO was doing the telling!
