I think there are several factors contributing to this matter. First, senior management of companies should try to keep their employees satisfied and fulfilled by offering competitive salaries and financial benefits. If the employees of a company are disappointed in this regard, they won't be willing to put their full potential into the company's tasks. In addition, I think the senior management of companies should have a pragmatic approach toward the uncertainty of their respective markets. For example, they should consistently adapt their marketing strategies to the dynamic demands of their markets.
