Actually, the goal of a business is to create a customer.
- chris_wot 14y agoYeah - customers who spend money.
- alttab 14y agoFrom Apple's standpoint as a publicly traded company, their mandate is to maximize shareholder value.
- jrockway 14y agoTheir mandate is to do whatever their prospectus says they are going to do. As for maximizing shareholder value, I think they've done pretty well there. I don't care for their software that much, but in terms of running a publicly-traded corporation, they've done an excellent job.
- ThePherocity 14y agoNo, the goal is to make money. If a business can make money without customers, then it's still a successful business. (Though it may be a racket). Making a business with lots of customers, but no money, at best is called a startup... ;)
