Indeed. They will leave unless you can identify talent and ambition for decision making and move them to such a position. I also think companies of today must have a "ycombinator" division that encourages entrepreneurship. Like google ventures but for employees. It should be trivial to get into without having to get into insane amount of documents and proposals. Something like: - people that have been for 3 years can apply for "ventures" with an idea - give people real funding - they get to use all resources of parent company - absolutely no interference from the parent company for like 1 year or something. I think you will find that if people don't have interest in their idea, they will just come back to join parent company and do normal jobs.
