(in the US) There is no such thing as an "indentured servant." The person's current employer may have a contract with the employee that says that he may not reveal trade secrets or steal customers, etc, etc, but there is no absolute right of business to restrict the free will (or employment) of any citizen.
Companies do this to prevent an employee from leaving the company and using the contacts and experience from working at the company to start a company in a similar profession. This helps prevent the company from incurring a loss in income due to training an employee who then goes off on their own to compete with the company.
This depends, "prevent you from leaving" has many connotations to it. The landlord cannot make you keep to the contract (the lease) but he can seek damages if you violate it. Your landlord cannot lock your door from the outside as to prevent you from legally leaving the property. This could be defined as false imprisonment. Prevent you from leaving the lease by offering you a reduced rent? Of course. But he can't force you.
A corporation can avoid sliding into the declining stage by continually innovating and adapting to changing market conditions, actively seeking feedback from customers, investing in research and development, diversifying its product offerings, and staying agile to respond to competition effectively. Additionally, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and encouraging employee creativity can help prevent decline.
