  The only successful model I'm aware of, for dealing with that when it comes to huge scale corporations, is the Berkshire Hathaway model. Delegation to great operators across major, highly independent units. Even then, inside of the large units you inevitably get a replication of the problem with increasing scale. It's clearly one of the reasons Google did what they did. At 60,000 employees they were beginning to drown in the bureaucracy of it all.

  I don't think free-market advocates would say that it doesn't apply to corporations/companies. I wouldn't either, as an anarcho-capitalist, say so. The difference is that in a corporation it doesn't matter if the individuals in power get corrupted. If you work on the assumption that bad behavior by the company/corporation is pushed-back in the free-market, then the corrupt actions have to serve the customers/clients, otherwise other companies are given an advantage. Of course, that singular assumption is a huge sticking-point for a lot of pro/vs discussions when it comes to free-market principles.
