Issue152:The only responsibility of corporate executives, provided they stay within the law, is to make as much money as possible for their companies.



In today's commercial society, most of the corporate executives focus their eyes on how much profit they can make for their companies. It is true that making money is the direct and foremost goal that an corporate executive should pursue. But I cannot agree with the speaker that it is the only responsibility of them, which means money is everything.

On the one hand, I concede that without making profit a company cannot survive in our society with fierce competition since money is the momentous element to run a corporation. After all, corporation is not a charity institution that means providing products or service to the public for free. A company, which has to pay the salary to its employees, to contribute tax to its nation, has to make as much money as possible by selling their products, whatever they are. Any manager or administrator in a company should try their best to improve efficiency and implement effective plans to expand their profits. Any executive who ignores this essential requirement would surely run a risk of bankruptcy sooner or later.

On the other hand, we should ask that what is the ultimate goal of running a corporation? Definitely, it is quite superficial to attribute the answer to making money alone. There are more meaningful social responsibilities and obligations that an executive should hold accountable. First of all, the meaning of one company's existence should beyond just making money for the company itself. What's of more importance is to provide high quality products or service to the public. Dell, the president of Dell computer corporation in America, said "I have not paid too much time to how much money I have made, what I care is that whether most of people in the market are using the computers marked the brand of Dell." Obviously, the source of his satisfaction comes from the service and product that his corporation provided to the society rather than the money itself. Actually, profit is the son of higher quality, more advanced, more convenient products and service one company can provide to customers.

In addition, the meaning of one company's existence in a society lies in its social responsibilities. For example: a company should provide job opportunities to the public, helping the nation to solve the problem of unemployment. To trim down its employees in order for a higher profit is always the last choice of one company just when it confronts the hazard of bankruptcy. Furthermore, there are some national unique industries in nearly every nation that never be allowed to be merged by some multination barons at the expense of the sacrifice of a national brand just because the mergence can make more money. On the contrary, those executives who only focus their eyes on the profit would be adventurous to do anything to make more money, which would risk of harming our society by taking advantage of the void of the current law system. Because they regard making money is the overriding priority in their eyes.

In sum, an corporate executive's responsibility should not limited in making as much money as possible since the ultimate goal of one company's existence does not rest on money alone but to make human's life more convenient, more comfortable. Therefore, many other significant social responsibilities should be taken into consideration as well.

On the other hand, we should ask that what is the ultimate goal of running a corporation? Definitely, it is quite superficial to attribute the answer to making money alone. There are more meaningful social responsibilities and obligations that an executive should hold accountable. First of all, the meaning of one company's existence should beyond just making money for the company itself. What's of more importance is to provide high quality products or service to the public. Dell, the president of Dell computer corporation in America, said "I have not paid too much time to how much money I have made, what I care is that whether most of people in the market are using the computers marked the brand of Dell."（这个例子说明戴尔不在乎利润，在乎市场份额，也就是潜在的利润啊，而你的论点是可不可以提供高质量的服务，要是谈服务质量，这个例子恰当吗？） Obviously, the source of his satisfaction comes from the service and product that his corporation provided to the society rather than the money itself. （这句分析有点牵强了，例子并没有证明质量问题，好像更说明了资本家的投资运营的策略，至少没有提到服务质量问题）Actually, profit is the son of higher quality, more advanced, more convenient products and service one company can provide to customers.（利润和质量有直接关系吗？还有知名度，企业内部管理结构，等等问题有关系，the son of 好像给人直接因果关系的感觉，至少不全面）

In addition, the meaning of one company's existence in a society lies in its social responsibilities.（对于这一点，我本人不信服，为什么呢，资本家追求的是利益，还是觉得一切的做法都归因为利益的需要，不是眼前的利益，也是一个long-term的，追求社会责任也是为了树立企业形象，说到底也是为了追求利益） For example: a company should provide job opportunities to the public, helping the nation to solve the problem of unemployment. To trim down its employees in order for a higher profit is always the last choice of one company just when it confronts the hazard of bankruptcy.（这一句话虽然是全面的分析，但是对论点的支持好像没有作用） Furthermore, there are some national unique industries in nearly every nation that never be allowed to be merged by some multination barons at the expense of the sacrifice of a national brand just because the mergence can make more money（又开始说赚钱了，这一段因该说社会责任啊）. On the contrary, those executives who only focus their eyes on the profit would be adventurous to do anything to make more money, which would risk of harming our society by taking advantage of the void of the current law system. Because they regard making money is the overriding priority in their eyes.（一心赚钱的人，没有社会责任的人就一定如此吗？有没有证据呢？口说无凭啊，爱钱的人一定危害社会？这种说法可以吗）

In sum, an corporate executive's responsibility should not limited in making as much money as possible since the ultimate goal of one company's existence does not rest on money alone but to make human's life more convenient, more comfortable.（为什么呢？你也说了企业不是慈善机构啊，为什么要做好事呢？） Therefore, many other significant social responsibilities should be taken into consideration as well.
我认为啊，要企业不光向钱看，要给合理的理由，一方面可以说为了树立企业形象，我们做好事，做了好事，也给自己做广告了，大家喜欢我们，就麦我们的东西，我们就赚钱。另一方面，我可以从大方面说，我们给社会作贡献，不为自身利益，我们给国家捐钱，救灾，或者战乱中也捐钱，我们是为了换取稳定的政局，好的政治环境也是企业发展的保证阿。大家好，我也好，觉得就算是从企业家个人修养上，来说，也是可以的，bill gates，首富，也是大笔给慈善机构捐钱，自己儿女每人只留10万。可以说社会好了，大家都好，钱从社会中来，我们回报到社会里去，是不是也可以呢？
总之，我感到文章词汇量非常大，好多不认识（汗），句子还是刻意模仿的成分比较大，关键句子比较注意。层次也蛮清晰的，就是论点我不敢苟同。分析不够深刻，虽然我谈不上深刻，我也是新手。

非常谢谢你的修改，尽管不能完全赞同你的修改！：）

1，这个题目是一个见仁见智的题目，谢谢修改，我的主要意思是：企业存在的终极目的是什么？赚钱是直接目的，但不是最终的，一个企业就是为了聚集一部分为我们的社会创造产品和服务，这才是出发点，仅仅是为了暴利出经营一个企业肯定会出问题的，贩毒如果是合法的话，那更赚钱呢！

2，我得词汇量还是蛮小的，用的主要词都是来自四六级单词，gre单词因为怕用不准，很少用

这篇文章虽然有话可说，要写得很深刻对我还是的确还有难度

liulin12369UID: 2112878

楼上也在探讨企业存在的终极目的了，那么我可以问问终极目的是什么？楼上说了“聚集一部分（财富）为我们的社会创造产品和服务，并且说这是出发点。那我问为什么要这么做呢？难道开设企业就是为了服务大众，不是谋取利益吗？服务大众的机构有，那是慈善机构，或者国家设施的福利机构。至于私人开办的企业，不可能为这个终极目的存在的吧？
   再说我没有说牟取暴利就是企业的目的，我上面也说的很清楚了，拿犯法的例子来驳我有像有点不讲道理的说。。。虽然我说话有点狠。。。但是我也肯定你了得用词，我直话直说，希望是共同探讨，并不是故意挑刺。。。

fhxyweiUID: 157384

企业之所以存在不是因为简单的要赚钱，我之所以要探讨企业的直接目的和终极目的，就是想挖掘企业存在的更深层次含义，就象人活着的直接目的是要吃饭，要生存，表面上看，我们周围的人谁不是在为了生存而奋斗呢？但人活着的终极目的肯定不是吃饭，应当有更高层次的追求。企业也一样，企业不赚钱就象人不吃饭一样存活不下去，那就不能叫做一个企业，企业和慈善机构活或者家福利机构的区别也在此，后者是不需要“吃饭的”，而且慈善机构不是一个生产性的组织，不会为社会创造产品和服务，而是一种把已有的物质财富进行再分配的手段，它虽然能为社会提供产品和服务，但不能生产和创造。

企业的终极目的是什么？每个人的理解都不同，但我绝对不赞成把企业的终极目理解成赚钱，当初比尔盖茨从哈佛退学那一刹那，肯定不是因为想成为世界首富而做出的那个决定，他想到的肯定是将来世界上大多数人都可能用到他的软件，甚至会改变人们的生活方式。还有就象我在文中提到的戴尔，他说过的那句话其实是这样的：“我不在乎我赚了多少钱，但是我一看到别人用的是戴尔电脑，我就兴奋不已，这是我工作的原动力。“ 所以赚钱只是企业存在下去的手段，只是直接目的。

另外，经济学里面对企业有一种定义就是：企业是一种能节约生产成本的高效率的生产性组织。所以我觉得企业的终极目的可以看作是通过它自身的方式去为社会生产或者是创造产品和服务。

呵呵，居然罗嗦了这么多，其实，issue就是允许每个人都有自己不同的的观点，关键是要自圆其说，哪怕是诡辩，你也可以把企业的终极目的理解成赚钱，经理人的主要责任是替企业牟利，用赞成的立场把这篇文章写一下，只要有理有据，那我也是信服的。有些文章观点我明明不赞同，但是只要分析得好，我也为之拍案叫绝！期待你的大作，欢迎再讨论！！：）

你说的是可以，而且我也觉得你是喜欢思考的人。但是要我认可你的观点，请给我证明！加为好友，互相改吧？

整体感觉蛮好的，
但是就是觉2，3部分，过渡的有点突然，可能是限时原因吧，我自己写也是，一限时间，什么都忘了，其实你的2，3还是有联系的；可以从对顾客负责的角度上升到社会的角度；然后说assume social responsibility 同样也是获益，也会带来profits，比如一些环保公司的例子，既是承担责任，也是赚钱；
如果我写，我可能就是第一部分和你观点一致；
第2部分写过于执着与profits 会带来的问题，
第三部分就写我上面说的，
欢迎交流～
