Case Study

 Companies have a choice of maximizing or optimizing profits. A company that maximizes profits is interested in serving shareholders. A company that optimizes profits is willing to promote better relationships with other stakeholders at the expense of shareholders. If you were to open your own company, explain which approach you would take.
