Week 1 Discussion 2 What Is The Primary Goal Of The Corporation

What is the primary goal of the corporation?

  • Maximize Wealth – should be the primary goal of the financial manager. Unlike profit (earnings per share, EPS) maximization, wealth maximization considers the impact of current decisions on the long-term financial health of the firm.
  • Social Responsibility – firms should be socially responsible at the same time they earn “normal” profits; otherwise they probably will go out of business.
  • Wealth Maximization and Social Responsibility – actions that maximize the value of the firm also are beneficial to society; wealth maximization improves the standard of living.
