I can envision a lot of people in corporate middle management having a bit of a problem with the very idea of democratic decision making. An extremely large part of the allure of those positions is power and controlling which information filters up the management chain.

This is why it will never be implemented on any meaningful scale in any corporate environment. At least, not without the backing of a strong union.

There is plenty of room for "meaningless" democracy in corporate environment. Vote on lunchroom menu for example.
