Hairball
I am reading an interesting book called, Orbiting the Giant Hairball. It compares large company culture to a hairball in the sense that the company is a tangle of formal and informal relationships that make clear navigation and creative processes difficult. I think that this combined with the fact that many times the hairball obscures the truth are primary factors behind the failure of large, complex organizations to sustain chronic success, creativity, and growth.
