nihism

Not invented here-ism. The tendency of large companies to implement their own way of doing things, not because that other thing is no good, but because it was Not Invented Here.

Not the same as nihilism, although there's a lot of pointlessness involved.
Sun Microsystems was known for its rampant nihism.
