I don't know why this post is getting down voted but the MBAization is truly it.

MBA practices cannot deal with uncontrollable production. But software engineering is utter chaos. So they try to come up with bullshit units that can be easily managed in their opinion. But it never works - aka, a nimble competitor always eats the giant in software.

The MBA style practice does work in factories and warehouses. But in software, a nimble startup with own the incumbent just be providing higher quality value.
