A funny alternative: If a company is deemed large (and stale) enough the government prints money against and purchases it. If you buy a 100 bl company you can write the 100 bl IOU no problem. Innovative departments should be split off into separate companies that start out with a good size government contract. Government can then immediately start "mis"-managing the company to make it less profitable (while theoretical profit stays the same) You would get for example a government google search and a government adsense department.
