Having sat accross the table from managers and watching as we proposed changes that would get everyone pulling together but that cost money via investment, I can attest that the usual reactions range from fear to glazed over boredom. Each department has an incentive to beat cost targets and so you have lots of individual silos and no common purpose. In my experience, corporate managers have ONE criteria for basing their decisions. "How will this help my personal prospects" The company does not matter as a whole entity.
