Probably only for the smaller companies - large companies can't manage that well with a more complicated expense management system.

Strangely enough I have a small business at my home with two normal-sized and two short-of-stature employees that could benefit from such an arrangement.

Hawaiian Airlines has a program that sets up a central corporate account. Each employee still maintains their own FF# and miles are basically doubled (you get yours and the company gets the same amount). Provides additional perks on same day changes, cheaper airfares, and a few others. Pretty useful.
