"An Outside Context Problem was the sort of thing most civilisations encountered just once, and which they tended to encounter rather in the same way a sentence encountered a full stop."
— Iain M. Banks, Excession

Also applies to corporations.
It is and very much does. Fortunately, there is plausibly little that qualifies as a true outside context problem these days. Authors of fiction, and especially of science fiction, are mostly to thank for that.
