One of the interesting aspects of Foucault's take on power was that it was constitutive.
To put it another way, the company that reclassifies what it does, or uses a new taxonomy may actually be trying to change itself by doing so and may succeed.
The big difference between the taxonomy a company constructs, and the kind that historians construct, of course is that companies have a real measurable output -- profit -- that they have to achieve.
