In many cases it appears that executives may believe that the economics of an improvement don't work

and therefore the improvement does not happen. Only if it appears that there is at least a reasonable chance that money can be made on the improvement will it occur, as folks in general don't like to throw money down a hole, although they often do (in the old west these holes were called mines).
