Bus/Financial - Economics
English term or phrase: pursue satisfying
"Thus, a great many entrepreneurs in tourism enjoyed local monopolies and could afford to pursue satisfying, instead of revenue maximizing"

Bonjour,
Je ne vois pas très bien comment formuler ce passage (ces entrepreneurs se satisfaisaient de ce qu'ils avaient sans chercher à accroître leurs revenus...)
Merci pour votre aide !

Merci. En effet, il manque un substantif... mais je pense que d'après le contexte, cette idée est la meilleure.
