What is Profit Motive

The profit motive is a term used in economics to describe the desire that drives businesses to behave in such a way as to maximize their earnings. According to the conventional microeconomic theory, the ultimate objective of a company is "to make money." This is not in the sense of raising the company's stock of means of payment; rather, it is in the sense of "increasing net worth." To put it another way, the creation of a profit is the primary motivation behind the existence of a firm.The theory of rational choice, which states that economic actors have a tendency to follow what is in their own best interests, is based on the principle that the profit motive is an essential component. According to this theoretical framework, the primary objective of firms is to maximize profits in order to benefit themselves and/or their shareholders.
