In reality, I think its a balance. If you don't prioritize the needs of investors, you negatively impact market capitalization if you're a publicly traded company. But even in a publicly traded company, investors would support a business strategy that balances their needs against those of the customer and the employees if the strategy was successful.
On the other hand, if you want to strictly favor investors, take or keep the company private and pursue whatever business strategy makes sense. If the strategy works, customers will beat a path to your product and folks will want to work for a successful company that provides opportunities. If the strategy doesn't work, well...failed enterprises are not uncommon either.
