"In evolutionary systems, profitability is not an objective in an of itself; rather, it is a fundamental constraint that must be met if a business is to achieve the objective of survival and replication (or enduring and growing). The management thinker Charles Handy illustrates this distinction by noting that eating is a constraint on living (and a very vital one), but no one would claim that the purposer of life is to eat."

"The Origin of Wealth" de Eric Beinhocker, um grande livro!
