The people who have jobs in zombie firms are fragilizing their careers. If you are just managing a process, your job will be automated. Your leadership won't hesitate to lay you off. If your firm is protected by intellectual property which isn't respected by China, and your firm doesn't even have the skills to defend its own network, you can't keep your "property". If you train your Asian partners how to work within your regulatory framework, they will just hire a few members of your staff away, then open a competing firm in your own country and completely dominate you. The whole western system is being dismantled, thank you McKinsey & Company.
Why don't people leave? Because they want their buy-out. They want the package that comes from grinding all of those years away at the zombie firm.
