Indeed.
It's telling that our business management ethos doesn't seem able to grow global companies like MS , Google or Apple, Siemens, BMW (etc)
Aside from what you mention above, my observation is that those running successful companies are often happy to "call it a day" and slide into comfy retirement on the proceeds. In contrast, others see managing a company as a custodial exercise with a view to handing on a bigger and better organisation than they took on. In an increasingly global world the UK's inability to grow and sustain tech business with a global reach is a massive drawback IMHO.
