How about limiting maximum number of people in any corporation to ~80%[3] of the Dunbar Number[2][3]?

It wouldn't fix everything, but it would guarantee more competition and hopefully keep corporations comprehensible.

[3] Why 80%? To allow room for family/etc. This number is merely a suggestion; better values require actual research.
