Have corporations changed over the the centuries and decades? They, like everything else, sure have. Does how they have changed matter? That will depend in part on whether you believe there is a deeper purpose or destiny for the corporate form. Whether you do or not, it is hard to argue in favour of some sort of faux Darwinism that would render the corporate form to actually be seen as a person? Except for one recent legal development – the raging debate in some academic circles over whether robots should rights? If robots should have rights, why not corporations?
Perhaps an even more challenging question looms: Will the next generation of corporate building (as pictured above) be more related to a computer then to the structures, both physical and organizational, that we identify as companies today?
