In order...
Nov 18 2006, 6:50 PM EST For something to be fully sustainable those who seek to sustain, must first sustain themselves. To do this, does not require that one give up their morals or ethics or attention to sharing the profits of the participation. Nor does it exclude the benefits to customers, employees, or investors and owners. Owners and workers must sustain each other and that relationship must be kept human and environmentally enhancing. Always seeking to improve the working mission and goals. At a certain level, regardles of how "open" a framework of operation tries to be, the dynamics of business always require a formal process and "guidelines" placing some as the supervisors of those who work to improve and manifest the products and services that the "company" provides. A collective effort has to support and benefit the collective that works, but also provide the customer with what it is asking for, the investor what they expect or were told to expect, the user must get what it wants. Can everyone own a part of this? At what point does it turn from a self-sustaining effort to a full commons sustaining effort? How do we assess if the commons is sustained? Do you find this valuable? |
