"In any enterprise, the process of making or doing something is ultimately more important than the final product."
Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion expressed above. Support your point of view with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.


Some people argue that the process of making or doing something is more important than the final product, some argue that the final product is more important that the process of making. The issue is a debatable one but a close examination reveals that the final product is more important that the process of making a product.
The chief reason is that the profit of an enterprise is depends on the final shape of the product, and not on the process of making it. The customers, who buy a product, are more concerned about the final product, how it looks like and how the product is presented to them. They are least bother to the process of making of a product till the product is at par with their expectations. For example, if two enterprises X and Y make the same product in different ways and the customer like the product of enterprise X than they like the product of enterprise Y, because of its final shape, then it will be sold off and the product of enterprise Y will not. This shows that the final presentation of a product is more important than the process of making it and it is a factor that contributes more in the profit making of an enterprise.
Second reason is that the quality of finished product is also a contributing factor in the profit making of an enterprise. For example, if the quality of a product is good, then the customer will purchase it without knowing the process of making it.
Lastly, the process of making could be important for an enterprise, but the final shape, presentation of a product, and quality is more important for an enterprise. The reason behind is that the customer is not at all bother about how the product is being made, but he is surely bother about the final look of product and its quality.
Finally, I concur that the final product is more important for an enterprise than the process of making it. An enterprise should focus on the quality and the final look of its products to maximize profit because it matters the most.
