 David Ellington’s message to entrepreneurs

“We are in the greatest economic boom in our country's

history. In this economy, I would hope that entrepreneurs
share their wealth and stand as examples so that more
people can benefit. As more people benefit, society
improves and more people get a shot at a piece of the pie. It
helps us all. It may even encourage more young people to
become entrepreneurs. In my mind, that would be great”.

Questions.

Would you subscribe to the view that organization growth

depends on what it draws from Society?

10
Should an organization subscribe to the development of
those who are socially handicapped and at what stage?

11
“Giving it back to society with full fervor is being too
idealistic for an organization!” Please comment.

12
Does it argue well to work for a social cause through a non
profit organization when you are in business?
