One thing i don't understand is why a company always needs growth. Why not just do what they do, solve a problem for the people or companies they serve, and be happy with that. Growth will come, and plateau when it reaches a natural level of saturation. Why keep trying to expand, sell more, increase profit and eventually collapse?
It's the Ford vs dodge case that dictated this, instead of investing back into the company or its employees, they were required to provide as much profit to shareholders as they could
