Once they get successful they start to hire on "big-time" CxO's who are 
interested in the big business and don't much care about the product or 
the company philosophy (if there is one).  Quarterly revenues are 
mostly all that matter.  If the existing management makes a misstep 
it's too often not seen as a learning opportunity, but as 'time to 
bring in professional manangement'.  This is especially true if there 
are VC's involved or 'professional' boardmembers.   As they say, a 
business is run by a man, a corporation runs itself.  It doesn't take 
long before they stop caring how Thomas Wayne would have done things.
