Buying a competitor to which you are losing in an emerging market is not innovative it's the opposite statement: We lack innovation internally and need to look outside the company.

The word innovative does n9t mean anything anymore. It became synonym with "earns a lot of money".

People who innovate without becomming super rich dont get ackwnowledged as innovative. CEO buys or copy an app - innovative.

But also, while I'm not mega rich, I'm very comfortable, if only to keep me from stirring the pot some more with my troublemaking nature. This is where Tom Lehrer's advice that selling out is OK if you get a good price comes into play. And yes, satire, but surprisingly good career advice in the real world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yz-Aed356kA
