working together in an organized way.
• Second, businesses must satisfy a societal need.
• Third, businesses must seek to make a profit.

satisfies the need to be able to
purchase food for ourselves and
our families.
Another example of satisfying a
societal need is a gas station that
provides needed fuel for most
cars to operate.
