Many American companies that are infamous for not being able to do it here manage it in their overseas locations. I pin it on the deficiencies of American culture and some combination of the failures in worker's rights, corporate priorities, and consumer habits that it influences. We know a good thing when we see it, but with our history and our ethos, we just can't seem to help ourselves. The "what" we do wrong is myriad, but I believe this is the why.
There are differences in how other countries operate. I've worked for foreign company that had offices in the US and they had lots of cultural differences in how they operate. So many people left in frustration including I.
