Does the economic profitability is perceived in the same way or differently by the manager of the company, the shareholder or the sales manager? Why ?

This question is a bit unclear, but anyways what I understand from let me put my thoughts 

1. I am understanding Economic profitability as larger Macro Economic conditions of a nation / relative industry with consumer sentiments as a prime indicator for that particular product / service business

2. I am understanding Manager/Shareholders/Company employees as a public listed company where share value is dependent on performance plus various macro/micro economic factors.

If take both above as base I have a point of view as below:-

Since business evolves around consumer and consumer sentiments there are predominantly connected in some form or the other to the macro economic conditions. Some of these ripple effects are faster and some like slow poison, but definitely these hand in glove 

With that i would say an organization with bigger operations and net work will have immediate impact and the smaller ancillary type businesses will see it over a period of time in the value chain of business cycle.

So profitability is ultimately linked to this is what I feel.

Thanks
