Just in the interest of joining in the fun...

A corporate entity is just a collection of individuals.  And in this 
case, those individuals have (it seems) a great deal of influence within 
that entity.  Thus, for the purposes of this argument, the two can be 
treated almost interchangeably.

Businesses don't succeed or fail because of the actions of the 
"corporate entity."  Businesses succeed or fail because the individuals 
with influence either do the right things or they do not.

In this case (again, it seems), the individuals with influence have shot 
themselves in their collective foot.
