    Managers must protect shareholder value to ensure the company remains financially viable and shareholders receive a return. Businesses pursue profit as a core objective to remain in operation and provide financial returns to owners. Growth is also a key objective as it allows businesses to expand operations, gain economies of scale, and increase profits and market share over time. While private businesses focus on objectives like profit and growth, public sector entities have additional objectives around providing services and operating for public benefit rather than private gain.
