I am wondering how the slow AI Corporations are subject to evolution
Like all questions in Biology, the answer is "it depends..."
Corporations have some characteristics of biological organisms, but not all of them:
When it comes to ecosystems of corporations, the business sector plays a role, just as the environment of a biological (reef, forest, undersea volcano...). Obviously, things change much faster in I.T. than in Japanese hospitality (http://www.slate.com/articles/business/continuously_operating/2014/10/world_s_oldest_companies_why_are_so_many_of_them_in_japan.html) and some sectors allow for much larger companies than others.
You can make all sorts of fanciful analogies - the dotcom bubble was like the Cambrian explosion!! - but I think the only way to get any useful answers would be some kind of simulation of corporate ecosystems. Could make an interesting game.

If there is one thing that gums up a functioning slow-AI, it's a stultifying byzantine bureaucracy!
