How software production has enabled business to become more efficient though business structures such as Traidmark.org (donates 100% NET profit to Innovative, efficienty, charities)
Traidmark.org business model that donates 100% NET profit to Innovative, efficienty, charities.
Traidmark aims to find a middle ground between ruthless efficiency
e.g.Tesco (uk) and compassionate inefficiency e.g. charities by
combining the best parts of each.
Profit making + donation to 'efficient' org's = increased
efficiency/innovation and increased philanthropic work.
My understanding is that small not for profit org's are run by
passionate people and therefore keep efficiency high. There may be a
problem in the future of NFPO's as they get larger and/or creating a
reputation which then allows them to then become (especially if/when
they get into a dominant position / niche market). One potential danger
is just with Google the Mozilla foundation could create such a dominant
reach that it does not have to evolve and therefore could hurt
'progress' by becoming sluggish and conservative in its approach to
innovation.
The business model it created as a way for profits to be used to fund
innovation development (for everyones gain) rather than what they are
currently used on which is to spend in inefficient charities or on
overpaid salaries/dividends. I hope the extra information helps to
explain the short and long term benefits. www.progreso.org.uk
This business model enables profit making companies who need to be
flexible the opportunity to work in a forward thinking way that goes
beyond being a social enterprise so they can work as a social
enterprise while setting up a long term business structure that
promotes innovation. All workers are rewarded for their hard work by
being paid performance pay. The net profit is profit after the company
has spent on R&D so allows progressive business development. Workers
will be more careful about how they
spend the money knowing that it is being taken away from the end good
cause rather than from a shareholders dividend which will make the
organisation more efficient.
