What are companies for?

Pablo Cardona and Carlos Rey

Chapter 3 in Management by Missions, 2008, pp 37-49 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It seems reasonable to assume that an organization and its members should have a clear idea of their purpose.1 In practice, however, this is not always the case. Very often, there is great confusion and conflict of opinion on this point, even within the board of directors or the executive committee.
