Most people think that business involves decisions around selling more stuff or spending less money, and accountants would typically record the results of these types of activity in a profit and loss or net income statement, but is this enough to ensure enterprises achieve sustained profitable growth?

One of my favorite musical films is West Side Story, released in 1961. A few years ago Stephen Spielberg directed an updated version of the movie.
