    They introduce competitors to themselves

    Do you sell the IP, or do you sell the ‘company’ including the employees? Problematic when your employees jump from one product to the next.

    New products might be thought more of as test beds, R&D, getting patents. So you don’t want to sell the IP. Remember the whole patent problem so they had to buy Moto just for the patents - which they then sold the manufacturing line.
