In today’s culture, especially the competitive culture of corporations, the concept of surrender does not get praise and acknowledgement.

This early quitting and letting go of dedicated resources is accepted because this decision is largely driven by financial constraints. Yet from a resource development point of view, early termination decisions free resources for product development projects with greater market value with resources that have experience in developing other, perhaps, related, products.
