Management without a 'Bottom Line',

Abstract

Enterprises and organizations can be categorized in a number of ways: public versus private, and government versus non-government; profit versus nonprofit; regulated versus unregulated; and market versus non-market. Each set of categories has some merit and utility, highlighting some distinguishing characteristics that affect, or allegedly affect, behavior of the enterprise. The various categories often cut across one another's purview. For example, public enterprises may be profit makers, such as the Export-Import Bank and the World Bank, and private corporations may be non-profit organizations, such as The Rand Corporation.
