“We need to reverse three centuries of walling the for-profit and non-profit sectors off from one another. When you think for-profit and non-profit, you most often think of entities with either zero social return or zero return on capital and zero social return. Clearly, there's some opportunity in the spectrum between those extremes. What's missing is the for-profit finance industry coming in to that area. Look at the enormous diversity of the for-profit financial industry as opposed to monolithic nature of the non-profit world; it's quite astonishing.” ThinkingWorldNeedsLooksThreeOpportunitySocialCenturyMissingIndustryReturnDiversityAreasFinancialProfitExtremesEnormousFinanceZeroEntityReverseSpectrumAstonishingNon ProfitSocial Entrepreneurship Author:Bill Drayton

“It is not simply that these two cities are perched side by side at the edge of the Pacific; it is that adolescence sits next to middle age, and they don't know how to relate to each other. In a way, these two cities exist in different centuries. San Diego is a post-industrial city talking about settling down, slowing down, building clean industry. Tijuana is a preindustrial city talking about changing, moving forward, growing.

“The oil industry is a stunning example of how science, technology, and mass production can divert an entire group of companies from their main task. ... No oil company gets as excited about the customers in its own backyard as about the oil in the Sahara Desert. ... But the truth is, it seems to me, that the industry begins with the needs of the customer for its products. From that primal position its definition moves steadily back stream to areas of progressively lesser importance until it finally comes to rest at the search for oil.” NeedsImportantSeemsMovingScienceCompanyTechnologyGroupsExamplePositionProductsIndustryTruth IsMassAreasTasksImportanceDefinitionsProductionsExcitedCustomersOilDesertStreamsPrimalBackyardsStunningOil CompaniesScience TechnologyMass ProductionOil IndustrySaharaSahara Desert Author:Theodore Levitt
