B. Vijaya Kumar, you have cited a good comparison of two highly successful organisations. Really a great point to ponder.
It is very rightly said that rewarding the shareholders is one of the important keys to success of the organisations.
I would go beyond it and add that 'It is the basic intention of achieving something great Achieving the goal that lead to the overall betterment and progress of the society as a whole.' which defines the success of the Company.
