% Domain   : Management (Organisation Theory)
% Problem  : Larger organizations have shorter reorganization
% Version  : [PB+94] axioms.
% English  : The bigger an organization is at the beginning of
%            reorganization, the sooner disbanding due to reorganization
%            (possibly) happens - i.e., the shorter is the reorganization.
