    Again, an enterprise is not an organization in which each worker creates some quantity of final product.

    An enterprise is an organization in which all workers contribute to the social processes of production to create collectively its final products.

    How the value of the products, determined at the point of sale, is distributed among the various individuals, who are associated with the enterprise, is a choice made by whoever controls the enterprise.

    Different choices are preferred by different parties. Business owners pay workers the minimum possible for the labor to be provided. How workers would choose to distribute value among themselves, in any particular enterprise they might control, if owners were not claiming profits, is a choice that is theirs among themselves.
