They learned to love hiring contract services and contract manufacturers and consultants. They basically bleed money for this, get some results and the level of secrecy is low (it maintains efficiency). This IMO empowers smaller businesses. I think there used to be some exotic capital equipment that basically confined everyone to a local vicinity. It's true for some services but ALOT of small places have some veery advanced capabilities now beyond the reach of the board of directors (they only interact with a account through a finance intermediary).
I think the amount of lynchpins went down. Alot of what the multinational corporates are now is just managers of a whole bunch of different subcontactors that don't have their own opinions or goals anymore, because they just don't know enough about whats going on, you get a aggregate decision based on advice and hearsay of a bunch of consultants and contractors (how much they complain about difficulty of work).
As a downside because of this, you could say there is less vision, and more people being bound by projections. This often does not end up making sense.
*projections made from aggregated diverse data that averages out to something that is often downright stupid
