“What I don't like from the president's administration is this sort of, 'I'll put my boot heel on the throat of BP.' I think that sounds really un-American in his criticism of business.

“For corporations to be bedfellows with the arts is good business for both. The architecture that houses a company is a more visible statement than the president's in the annual report. Ditto interiors, particularly of offices and sometimes, dramatically, in plants. For solvent businesses, support of community cultural undertakings in music, drama, dance creates great goodwill. Also, the existence of such activities is often important to the executives and their families that companies want to keep or attract to keep.” WantArtImportantSometimesCultureHousePresidentCommunityExistenceCompanySupportDramaActivityOfficeArt IsPlantArchitectureStatementsCorporationsVisibleReportsExecutivesInteriorsGoodwillUndertakingsAnnualsGood BusinessBedfellowsAnnual Reports Author:Malcolm Forbes
