Acquiring is good! Not every company that wants to grow needs to do something original, sometimes funding people doing original things is good. Bad management is not a requirement for acquiring companies, though it is frustratingly common.

Maybe they should? The world would look quite different if companies were forced to innovate and compete rather than merge and acquire.
