Profit is not the proper end and aim of management

“Many assume, wrongly, that a company exists simply to make money...the real reason HP exists is to make a contribution...to improve the welfare of humanity...to advance the frontiers of science...Profit is not the proper end and aim of management –it is what makes all of the proper ends and aims possible…”

David Packard, 1947
