“What is the final objective of business? It is to make the obtaining of a living—the obtaining of food, clothing, shelter, and a minimum of luxuries—so mechanical and so little time-consuming that people shall have time for other things.” — A business leader, circa 1930

Explain what you think the quotation above means and discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the view of business it expresses.

就是一个biz leader说做生意么其实就是赚点小钱过个小康生活，这么机械也不用花什么时间，做生意的人应该有很多时间做别的事情？

Quotation by the business leader states that obtaining food, clothing, shelter and a minimum of luxuries, i.e. obtaining of living is the objective of business. And the business leader feels that obtaining of living does not consume much time. However, I do not support the opinion expressed by the business leader. If obtaining of living is the sole purpose of doing business, then business man can obtain his living by being an salaried employee in an organization. Instead, objective of business to create money, to create employment opportunities for others and to support the needy in society.

First, if the objective of business is to obtain living, then business man can do so by being a salaried employee in an organization. Doing business involves looking for the opporunities in the market, creating new products and services to offfer to customers, constantly innovating internal business practices and staying ahead of competitors. All this is not as simple as to obtain living and great businessmen have invested their life times in creating business empires that span across globe. e.g. If the objective of Bill Gates is to obtain living for his family, then probaly he would have joined as a software programmer in othe comapnies like IBM existing when invented Microsoft Operating System and lived happily forever. Bill Gates wouldnt have established an organization that will span across the globe and he wouldnt have risked legal proceedings in law courts against him and Microsoft.

I feel objective of business is to create money, to create wealth for its stake holders, to create employment opportunities for others and to support the needy in society. Any business enterprise cannot be run by a single person. It involves many divisions like procuring raw materials, manufacturing products, marketing finished goods and accounting all payables and receivables. So, business owner has to employ others to do these functions on his behalf. Further, as business grows, it creates wealth for all stake holders. Finally, business man has the social obligation to uplift the society around him. If business man empowers the needy around him, knowledge and purchasing power of people around him will increase and which in turn will create market for his products. e.g. In India, Reliance Group was started by Dhirubhai Ambani with text tile manufacturing business. Now this Groups is the biggest business conglomerate in India and this group forayed into Petroleum, Information technology, Retailing, Logistics etc. And this group employees more than 1 million people on its payrolls. Had the objective of Dhirubhai Ambani was to make living, his group wouldnt have reached this position now. Ambani group is also actively involved in philanthropic activities in areas surrounding its manufacturing plants.

To conlcude, I do not support the statement given that final objective of business is to make the obtaining of living. Had the motive of entrepreneurship is to obtain living, then man kind would not have progressed so far and it could not have witnessed so many business entities, which are existing now. Business involves creating money, creating wealth for stakeholders and supporting the needy in society through philanthrophic projects.
