It's growth for the sake of growth (and more $), and not deploying business to solve hard customer problems and to make the world a little bit better.
Not sure I understand. How do you grow revenue unless you're producing something that someone wants, presumably because it solves a problem and makes the world better?
If I were a company I'd pay a lot of money to find other ways to grow!
Yes, if you presume growth results from problem solving, then it's trivial to argue that it must. But it's also fairly trivial to show growth that results from causing problems, too. Like certain kinds of monopolistic behavior.
For example, if my ISP charges my $10 more a month, they aren't necessarily solving any problems, but it's still growth for them.
