Reminds me of what happens when a bunch of independent software dev teams at an organization suddenly are forced to assimilate under a monolithic "IT Governance" structure where they (and their constituent workers) are modeled as fungible agents that can be juggled from project to project on a management whim. Suddenly all projects are forced to use the same cookie-cutter tools and cargo cult methodologies regardless of the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" factor. The MBAs lording over the whole thing enjoy their newfound power. In real life, maybe a good analogue would be the existence of the 50 United (but independently-governed) States and the struggle against the tendrils of the federal government. Or a similar thing going on in the European Union. I don't politics much so maybe I'm way off.
