I always find this language kind of interesting. Companies are inanimate entities, they can't want or not want something. When you say "they want to" or "have the option to" who do you really mean?

Pretty sure the gp is referring to employees and top management, rather than shareholders. I.e. the actual daily functioning portion of the company.
