Slow Corporation

Companies grow to become more competitive, more efficient. But recently I observed that the big disadvatage of all of that is the detatchment from the actual consumer, as the the business world is moving from market orientation, to what I believe consumer orientation. Another problem that I observed in terms of Microsoft corporation is that they are a little late at everything. The Apple i-Pod becomes a huge success, yet Microsoft just started to jump into that whole market with the Zune now. Skype (www.skype.com) takes off in terms of free online telecommunication, and finally Microsoft is incorporating this feature into messenger. It seems that the whole bureaucratic system of the corporation is not agile enough to serve the market well. So I think that in the future, more small companies will dominate the market, rather than a few large ones. Even though that might not be the current development and experts say it might be differe. What do you think?
