CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1:1 Background to the Study
It is an axiom world over that every organization irrespective of their type, size and ownership structure have specific reasons for their existence; a well defined intention that inform their subsistence. For a business entity or firm, it is popularly one of profit maximization or wealth maximization. The profit maximization objective of a business firm has been widely criticized. It is contented according to Pandy (2006) that profit maximization objective assumes a situation of a perfect competition, and in the face of imperfect modern market, it cannot be a legitimate goal of a business. Further still, it is argued that the profit maximization as a business objective came into existence when business ownership structure were mostly self financing, private property and single entrepreneurship. The singular/common purpose of the owner is therefore, to increase personal wealth and influence, which could easily be satisfied by the profit maximization goal. Contrarily, the modern day business entity is characterized by divorce or distinction between the owners (shareholders) and management (agent) consequently, the firm’s activities can not be enhanced without the input of all other important stakeholders; Googins (2003) assert that “…profit ability (of afirm/business) is dependent on the stakeholders’ trust”. In modern day businesstherefore, profit maximization is regarded as unworkable, inappropriate, hazy and dissolute.
