Why wouldn't people association and dissociate into new worker's cooperatives for a variety of reasons? Competition (and therefore innovation) will still exist under market socialism, it just happens that the rewards are distributed to more people, and therefore more people have stake in reducing costs. Hence you'll still have innovation with the aim to reduce costs of production. There will still be profits in the sense of gains in productivity and wealth over the inputs. 

But the biggest risk would still be by the company's founder an for that people have always wanted and will always want a bigger reward. Also democracy and human rights have almost never worked well with socialism (for example China and the Soviet Union).

China and the Russia were already violent countries long before the establishment of socialism nor is this something exclusive to socialist countries. The US backed capitalist regime in Cuba was notorious for human rights abuses while ultimately lead to the Cuban Revolution.
