The Purpose of Business

“Business is an aggregate of people and its purpose is to serve people in a profit-making environment. Because business deals both with the life of men in their personal relationships and with the needs of men, business cannot avoid the problem of ethics. Anything that involves men opens the question of ethical conduct. To this extent, business must be either an ethical or unethical institution, it cannot be neutral.”

— Jan Erteszek, 1985
