corporatized
Turned into enterprise
Corporatized describes something that has been restructured to operate like a corporation, typically emphasizing profit, efficiency, and bureaucratic management over other values.
The term usually carries critical connotations—a corporatized university prioritizes revenue over education, a corporatized hospital treats patients as customers.
What was once mission-driven becomes bottom-line driven: Healthcare has become increasingly corporatized.
