It's an interesting idea, but I think most of us here have worked for companies where we've seen this stupidity first hand. The clueless middle manager makes a bad decision, this has several knock on effects, the manager gets promoted and a lot of money has already been sunk into the bad decisions so fixing the mistakes isn't politically possible for the next guy and on it goes.

This happens every where there is humans with egos and politics in it's many forms and I doubt the KGB has infiltrated all of them.
