The governments inherent hierarchial / command and control organizational structure ensures that they will be slow, inflexible and otherwise ineffective as compared to networked organizations where all nodes operate as their own command and control. This contrast between hierarchial and networked organizations is explained very well in the paper 'Netwar: the future of crime terror and militancy'.
