"Goodwill" is a financial asset. Google tells me I probably spelled it wrong (no space) and used it incorrectly. Apologies. I meant to say the obvious - that if the public likes the image a consumer-products company projects, they're more likely to buy its products than if they didn't.
Look, Kris, when we talk about any organization's "intentions", government or non-government, we're letting our imagination get the better of our brain.
Organizations are machines, period. And the people who work for them are obliged either to act in their best interests - profit and longevity - or be sacked.
And good will negates your earlier premise.~KLM\\ "The one who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The one who walks alone, is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been." ~ Albert Einstein //
