The big point in what you quote is "and the attendant risks and opportunities for the corporation."

I read this Harvard text to basically say: "Don't cheat if the cheating will be coming to bite you later. Be generous if you expect additional profits to come from this generosity."

Fair point, yep. Generalizing your statement slightly:

> Be generous if you expect additional <reward> to come from this generosity.

Options for reward could include (without being limited to): "profit", "platform adoption", "trust".. and those rewards often affect each other over time.
