Usually, their business-buying strategy is to obtain either new technology or the engineers within the companies

That has to be hands down the best strategy for getting around non-compete clauses that I have heard, ever. 🙂

Obviously they are serious about getting who they want in the company.

Guy who doesn’t want to work for Google: Gee, Google, I would, but, you know… I’m locked into this contract…
Google: Hey dude, no problem… we’ll just buy the whole company you work for.
Guy who doesn’t want to work for Google: Ha ha! Yeah… heh… wait, you’re serious??
