Doesn't matter if it is IT company/ Automobile company...Decentralization, Business-unitization are all ways to provide the start-up environment. But it is too difficult in reality. Lot depends on the mindset of people at the appropriate level... Vineeth, I worked in Cognizant for 3 years before that and I was aware about this stagnation layer :)

I am surprised though. I am a new economy kid working in a old economy company. ;) Its frustrating at times coz of the lack of dynamism in the organisation and also too much of petty politics as junta are working at the same place and almost same work etc for 20+ years. Agreed. Any company which is large will have its own set of problems. But I liked to believe that new economy companies must be all "kewl et flat". But guess they just "seem" to be so!

But i never felt that in either of the companies i worked with .. U wont believe it - but the company i work now(It's a fortune 100 company), there's an approval process for getting stationery items too - (i.e u route a request thru u'r manager for procuring a stapler and five notepads) .. Hmmmm, shud work in a start up some day !!! And the whole point of creating stuff like Business Units was to give u a small-company-within-a-big-company feel.
