Basically the problem with American corporate thinking.

Make a great product, stop innovating, and then spend the rest of the life of you company trying to extra as many dollars as possible from the first mover goodwill. Spend as few of those dollar possible innovating or improving the product. Or if you are innovating, it's in ways to break your old products to try and trick your customers into buying more.

The core of the problem is that those who own businesses only care about extracting money from stock and investment. The best way to do that isn't making a good product. In fact, it's practically the opposite.

American corporate thinking is mostly about acquisitions to innovate. So this is more or less _not_ American corporate thinking.
