To increase a company's profitability, a business owner needs to improve his sales and revenue. By having suitable systems and processes for business operations, the business owner can achieve this goal. This includes having the proper recruitment and hiring processes to ensure that the right employees are working for the company.

According to Austin Clark, there are many ways of handling human behavior. He believes in starting with the end in mind when trying to shape behavior among employees and coming up with courses of action to deal with cases of indiscipline.
