Surviving
The first duty of a business is to survive, you may not be the most profitable business but a least u may still be able to compete in the future.

Producing High Quality Products Or Offering High Quality Services
The aims of most organisations are that they want to give quality goods to customer’s requirements, so they receive what they expect or better than they expected. And receiving goods at high quality doesn’t always mean most expensive as most the expensive items are not always best quality nowadays.
