Abstract

The views on the objectives of a firm are many, varied and some are contradicting. This paper attempts to identify the primary objective of a firm from the primary objective of an economy and synthesizes the hitherto different objectives to get a holistic view. This has interesting implications for the recent environmental concerns, social responsibility of business, and questions the need for a separate theory of public firm.
