An interesting paper in this context is "Structural Inertia and Organizational Change" by Hannan and Freeman, 1984 [1]. A quote from the introduction: "...selection processes tend to favor organizations whose structures are difficult to change.".

In other words, it's typically a good thing that larger companies are slow to adapt. That's something that startups can make use of.
