The management may pursue goals other than wealth maximization in order to stay competitive and expand. The company may temporarily stop chasing shareholder wealth maximization in order to make their future benefits secure. That happens by diverting dividends or profits to upgrading systems, reinvesting in new technology and doing research.
Shareholder wealth maximization (or simply, "maximization") is a comprehensive, long term financial goal reflecting investor confidence, measured specifically in the face value of a corporation's stock (Block & Hirt, 2002).Block, S.

Of course yes, but maximizing shareholder wealth would be the primary goal of any organization that has shareholders.
The concept of maximizing share holder wealth is a goal that encompasses everything that is expected out of a management. when would share holder wealth increase? Either by dividends or by increase in value of the shares. When can a company declare dividends or when would a company's share value increase? when its profits increase, its net sales and revenue increase etc. so indirectly by trying to achieve one goal we are attaining some other goals that are very important for a company's existence.
