Dodge v. Ford Motor Co.In:casetext.com.7.Februar 1919,abgerufen am 27.Juli 2023(englisch):„A business corporation is organized and carried on primarily for the profit of the stockholders. The powers of the directors are to be employed for that end. The discretion of directors is to be exercised in the choice of means to attain that end, and does not extend to a change in the end itself, to the reduction of profits, or to the non-distribution of profits among stockholders in order to devote them to other purposes.“
