Are they strategies or consequences? I've noticed a "regressive"
pattern of behavior in corporations during layoffs, "downsizing," and
major changes (I haven't charted the networks, this is more of a
clinical observation). I find that people stick to more conservative
patterns--spend less money, make less radical decisions, work the
hierarchy more carefully, take fewer chances. I wonder if there's a
relationship?
