In a more abstract pov, govs are not bad, and companies are not bad. It's a false dilemma. BIG govs are bad, and BIG companies are bad. Notice the common attribute? It's about relative power. That's why companies "lose their ideals" (hello google), when they grow big. It's not about inner organization and communication. It's about BIG. The obvious solution for a society, is to limit the maximum power differential between entities. ("We the people", is one such entity.) The actual implementation of that, is left as an exercise to the reader :-) (..But history has shown, that I/we shouldn't be optimistic.)
