The ‘Narrow View’ argues that profit maximisation is the only objective for a business. Levitt.T wrote‚ “In the end business has only two responsibilities- to obey the elementary canons of face-to-face civility (honesty‚ good faith and so on) and to seek material gain”. Milton Friedman argued that business
