Profitability is a shallow goal if it doesn't have a real purpose, and the purpose has to be share the profits with others.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Profit is not the legitimate purpose of business. The legitimate purpose of business is to provide a product or service that people need and do it so well that it's profitable.
Companies should not have a singular view of profitability. There needs to be a balance between commerce and social responsibility... The companies that are authentic about it will wind up as the companies that make more money.
The central task for a business is to make a profit. The challenge is to make a profit by doing things which are genuinely good for people and good for societies.
Profitability is coming from productivity, efficiency, management, austerity, and the way to manage the business.
Legitimate profit is good. What's bad is profiteering.
Profit per se is not my motive.
I think the only way to maintain profitability is to meet the needs of the customers.
Eliminating what is not wanted or needed is profitable in itself.
Profit is the sole criterion used by the establishment to evaluate economic activity. From the rat race to lame ducks. The vocabulary in vogue is a give-away. It's more reminiscent of a human menagerie than human society.
Profitability comes from loyalty, productivity, and having a character base from which to work.
