In business education classes, it is frequently stated that the function of a corporation is to maximize profits for shareholders. It is not always determined whether this is "short-term" or "long-term" profits and neither is "short-term" or "long-term" defined.
When I think about the answer to the question of what is the purpose of your organization, if the only answer is "to make money", I feel like this is a very morally corrupting or potentially morally corrupting answer. If that's the ONLY function of your organization, that is not something in which I am interested in involving myself. I am not against making money but, when it's the ONLY raison d'etre, it's not something that I am interested in.
