I have said often enough that a company must serve its investors (shareholders), members (employees), or outsiders (customers). The neglecting of the latter two for the former is not good in the long run for anyone.
Neglecting any one of them is problematic; neglecting any two for the sake of the third will lead to bankruptcy, sooner or later.
