It is called Research and Development. If the executive is a graduate of a business school, then R&D (and engineers) is an expense. If the man comes from where the work gets done (by definition, an American patriot), then that same innovation is an asset.
Unfortunately it is that simple. And unfortunately, so many Americans so hate America as to 'buy American'. That 'buy American' attitude is why the problem remains. The real "only thing stopping the big guys" are still too many Americans who are so dumb as to believe George Jr and who also 'buy American'. The problem of intelligence starts at the source - those who keep telling GM, et al to keep making crap.
