The one thing I would point out is that it's not Business 101.  Many business decisions are made that only have short term gratification in mind and ignore the long run.  

 

Having short term goals has nothing to do with it. This is possible return vs. no possible return. Possible positive short term results still beats no possible positive results.

 

Picking something because it has a possible return over something that is guaranteed to have zero return is business 101. If your goal is to purposely devalue your company and you do the opposite, then it would still be business 101.

 

Considering the jags are trying to maximize team value, retaining Justin at this point would be a sound fundamental business move.

 

Doing it because you are ignorant of how to maximize value wouldn't be business 101.
