Now, if you want to get rich, you have only to produce a product or service that will give people greater use value than the price you charge for it. How rich you get will be determined by the number of people to whom you can sell the product or service.

A company is a group of people organized to create a product or service, and that product or service is only as good as the people in the company - and how excited they are about creating it.
