I agree with 411111111111111's answer: GAFAM are are corps, not stable groups. Teams' members are renewed quite frequently, this is an unstable setup, in a way constantly collapsing/exploding. I also agree with TheFreim's comment, each corp is a group of groups. Alexander Zinoviev wrote that real (useful, innovative...) work is always done by a single person or a small group. Google, Amazon, Apple and other successful huge companies genius and key-to-success is to maintain small groups, each as autonomous as possible and producing some valuable thing, then to compose their results. Any productive big institution isn't a perfectly consistent and stable machine built with all-tightly-coupled human components, but an unstable (constantly renewed) patchwork/hodgepodge where a few entities (groups) are productive (most aren't), each small and much more free to act as they want to than it may appear to the casual observer. In Apple's case S. Jobs was pretty clear about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f60dheI4ARg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f60dheI4ARg , see also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5enAGG51PQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5enAGG51PQ
