- a corporation is also dynamic because of the longevity of its constituents AND, i think, because once the primary product’s goals are achieved (the market is saturated with coke), the drive for maximizing profit potential shifts to other products (coca-cola offers about 400 according to wikipedia). of course, some corps. (like GE or altria [phillip morris]) have their hands in more than light bulbs and tobacco respectively.
i would suggest that social movements follow this pattern to diversify “product”/message (when modest gains are achieved) to include other oppressed parties (i think a decentralized message is detrimental to social reform movements though).
an interesting comparison might be to the evolution of language.

“Distribution of knowledge favors the possessor of knowledge”
- do you have a comprehensive definition of “knowledge” in mind?
