What should the management of Sports Products Inc pursue as its overriding?
Current theory asserts that the firms' proper goal is to maximize shareholders' wealth, as measured by the market price of the firm's stock. A firm's stock price reflects the timing, size and risk of the cash flow that investors expect a firm to generate over time. So financial managers should undertake only those actions that they expect will increase the value of the firm's future cash flow. Theorical and empirical arguments support the assertion that managers should focus on maximization shareholder wealth. Shareholders of a firm are sometimes called residual claimants, meaning that they have claims only on any of the firm's cash flows that remain after employees, suppliers, creditors, governments and other stakeholders are paid in full. As you see, shareholders stand at the end of this line so if the firm cannot pay the stakeholders first, shareholders receive nothing! Shareholders also bear most of the risk of running the firm. So if firms did not manage to maximize shareholders wealth, investors would have little incentive to accept the risks necessary for a business to succeed.
