Slowly IT is finally digesting the power of governance. From contracts on installment to governance.
Systems are created under stress, and the ones who survive are the ones who can withstand change. There is no other way to accommodate what comes your way than by being able to accommodate it.
IT lost its transparency by the sale of systems and roles without a perpetuity plan. They are unable to obtain the right information. The ones that couldn't, went out of business already and their brands have been forgotten.
This is simple math. A corporation is the most efficient way to expand, obtain capital, and its entity status gives it the legal right to survive. A drug dealer is better off going public if he can establish internal controls, and a heavy management layer. If he is not able, he is better off staying private. Dell is trying to take his own company private.
Technology companies lost the ability to run a corporation. They lost the ability to read their business. Best Buy and Dell decision to go private is a sign that they found the actual cause.
