Impotence produces ignorance

Profit is considered a necessity for the company. The usual constraint placed on the achievement of a profit is that it must be made within the law. Breaking the law however is an integral part of the day to day operation of many NZ companies. The lecturers know this, they even say this in lectures, but for some strange reason for the most part they seem to be unwilling to do anything about such illegal practices.

Commerce studies in the University might turn out good accountants and managers — but most of the students have never learned or thought to question the system in which they will work. The University is in effect turning out people who will control our economy, and yet have little understanding of the limitations of the system. Nor do they have an understanding of the implications of their profit making activities for the wider society. Personal and corporate profit are the primary focus of Commerce studies in this University and everything else is subservient to the profit motive.
