In the book The Modern Firm, John Roberts argues that the primary purpose of the firm is ‘to coordinate and motivate people’s economic activity’ (p.74 **). Read the journal article by Herbert Simon (attached) , where this idea is explored in some detail.

Credit will be given for arguments made on the basis of personal experience or practical observations.
