Profit is the most global aspect of a business, and it is cross-functional.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We have to choose between a global market driven only by calculations of short-term profit, and one which has a human face.
Profitability is coming from productivity, efficiency, management, austerity, and the way to manage the business.
The word 'commercial' implies a notion of profit.
In most companies people make a specific contribution to the company in their function. But it is not expressed in terms of profit, only in terms of performing their function better.
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.
Profit in business comes from repeat customers, customers that boast about your project or service, and that bring friends with them.
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 a shallow goal if it doesn't have a real purpose, and the purpose has to be share the profits with others.
It doesn't matter much where your company sits in its industry ecosystem, nor how vertically or horizontally integrated it is - what matters is its relative 'share of customer value' in the final product or solution, and its cost of producing that value.
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.
