The ABC are taking some poorly thought and knee-jerk decisions lately. They instead should take a State-like approach to their decision making.

I mean, management need to treat their tenure as a small period in an organisation that continues forever. A perspective change, hopefully leading to better deliberative decisions.

No need to rush when you have eternity to play with.

Haha, different interpretations of State i guess.

I'd interpret your example as policies of the Government of the day, which represents the State, (like the managers represent the ABC), for a short tenure of the life of the respective entities.

My interpretation in line with what might come to mind when you talk about a Statesman. Good current examples would be John Kerry, Angela Merkel, or closer to home, Julie Bishop. These people have their political aims, but they also realise the continuation of the State as a living entity has a use in its dependency and therefore importance. Noticeably, they're more internationally focused where its enormously important to take a wider breadth of view in regards your own State and its continuing existence.
