Not really: corporate boards of directors & stockholders are better coordinated & focused on narrower goals of protecting a business's earning potential than the entire voting populace and government institutions are in coordinating or even agreeing on the broader mission of government. Half the people seem virulently hostile to the government and want it to fail.
If half the corporate directors and investors wanted it fail, you could expect similar results and failures. However, people don't tend to invest in companies with the intent of destroying the worth of their investment.
This shouldn't surprise anyone who spares the slightest moment to think seriously about the obvious, structural differences. Profit-driven businesses are simpler to govern than national governments.
