In other words, a company’s executives have the obligation of serving the people and the society. Only in this way, the company would survive and prosperity in long term.

First and foremost, money is the only thing that all people live by, and for a better life the utmost target of establishing a company is making money. Consequently, an executive exerts almost all of his/her intelligence on making profits. Most of executives’ duties aim at making the maximal profit out of the labor force and raw materials, or any other possibilities that could reduce the cost.

The on-line chatting and e-mail can save the long distance calling fees by a large scale. However, the consumption of electricity power is increasing dramatically; on the other hand the price of power is rising quickly. This adds the cost also, especially when a lot of people have no habit of turning off the screen after leaving offices. If company executives build a culture that saving power is a virtue that deserves a promotion, employees would more likely form a habit of turning off screen when not used. Consequently, the expense of maintaining a company would reduce and finally serves the interests of consumers and society as a whole.

Businesses operate in society and thus have to undertake the societal responsibility in addition to maximize the profit and to compliance with the letter of the law. By investing in potentially profitable technological researches or sponsoring meaningful humanity studies, a company would build up a reputation which may gain more consumers in the long run and benefit the company itself. Nowadays, many renowned entrepreneurs have been built a close relation with famous universities or research institutions. This relation benefits the development of technology and also the prosperity of businesses.
In sum, profit maximization is not the sole responsibility of company executives within the bounds of law; they have to take on the obligation of serving the consumers, employees, and the society in which they operate. Only in this way, the businesses would survive and then prosper in the increasing competition market.
