Michael Porter: Why business can be good at solving social problems

Por Plicatus EN en Medios de Comunicación 1326 views 5th Abril 2018 Duración del video: 00:16:29

Why do we turn to nonprofits, NGOs and governments to solve society's biggest problems? Michael Porter admits he's biased, as a business school professor, but he wants you to hear his case for letting business try to solve massive problems like climate change and access to water. Why? Because when business solves a problem, it makes a profit -- which lets that solution grow. TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and much more.

The dilemma that politicians face is that they find it hard to be themselves under the gaze of the press and public.
