Accountability sinks

>> In The Unaccountability Machine, Dan Davies argues that organizations form “accountability sinks,” structures that absorb or obscure the consequences of a decision such that no one can be held directly accountable for it.

Government and Civil Servant are the biggest example. I guess its time to re-watch "Yes Minister".

That is a problem of organisation size, not so much whether the organisation is private or public.

I dont believe the largest company on planet earth by market cap has the problem as bad as government, even in a smallish country.

I guess you haven’t worked in many large companies. I’m currently working for a large American company, and the waste and inefficiencies there beat most Swedish government agencies I’ve ever have had to deal with.
