Don't disagree at all. There is a proverb says that "The constraints of the horn determine its music." This is true for company organizations as well, how a company is organized determines what it can and cannot do. When we moved to the SF Bay Area my wife worked for Xerox and saw that every day. At Sun Microsystems, when the 'portable' launched, we joked "You can make any kind of computer you want as long as its a workstation!"
