Unless you're a nonprofit, and sadly, not even in most cases, return on investment is the primary if not the sole consideration. Working with other people's money means they now have a say, and it can mean they have more of a say than you do. A corrollary to this is that the ideals of an individual can only map to the organization as far as their financial stake allows. If it's you and your close friends, the company can be anything you like. A publicly traded company, on the other hand, must return value to shareholders. All other considerations are secondary at best. Your last couple of sentences distill the essence of business, any business.
