One of the biggest examples was Sears under Eddie Lampert whose internally-competitive business units, among a couple other factors, basically destroyed the company.
Someone else mentioned it in this thread, but they cover it in the book “People’s Republic of Walmart” but I suppose you could find books or articles about the Sears example specifically. I’m not really aware of any other big corporate names trying it.
Ok that sounds very interesting. Are there any good books or articles about it?
