"To make money" is surely the only answer. When you stop making money you either sell-on the remains to someone more-gullible, or you close the business down. As has happened with Maplin, ToysRUs, Countrywide farmers etc in recent months.

Businesses going-bust proves that the market-economy is working. Evolution demands extinction; let's not grieve over the fate of the dinosaurs.
