Hard to create value when ditch or reduce power from the value creators and end up nothing but value extractors.
Companies taken over and run by value extractors (finance/business/marketing) over the value creators (engineers/product/creatives) end up in this stagnated, picked apart state when the grace from the value creation or product wears off.
Value extractors need to learn that you must first create value before you extract it. The reason value extractors originally were attracted to the project/product is usually that it has created value.
R&D has very little value to an MBA so it is cut, but long term it is all the value of the company. Value extractors kill the whales before they even can grow up.
