A biologist once said that for evolution to happen, people have to reproduce. He was talking about a preservation mechanism so that some catastrophic event in the future wouldn't wipe out the entire species all at once. It could be the same with companies. How do we structure our organizations to mimic nature? Because nature has had a really long time to figure things out. And from the standpoint of the individual creatures within the system, there are things that are bad for the individual. As the system itself, it may be a good thing.
