Is Business the Enemy?

There is an interesting post and commentary on social edge about social ventures partnering with business. For a long time it seemed there was a clear distinction between organizations that wanted to make money and ones that wanted to make a difference, and the two sides never met. Times have changed I think for the better. Now more and more people are realizing that today’s problems are too big to solve alone. They are less interested in staying on their side of the fence and more interested in finding solutions. Nonprofits are beginning to think like businesses and businesses are beginning to think about the double and triple bottom line. Both parties know they can benefit from working together.
