chap 3-making markets work!

I really like this chapter and its illustrations of how it partners with major corporations. I have been trying to think in terms of smaller organizations working with corporations for good works and have come up short. Can any of you think of some? I believe social work has benefited as a whole from partnerships and that we shouldn't be afraid to get support. On page60, one way to leverage business is to " make them more socially responsible". This is important because our consumers are there consumers and i think some corporations forget that we buy their products and eat their food. We are not as separate as some might think. I also like the idea of running a business and I think there was an earlier post talking about LLC3 companies and the debate over them. Having a combination of business savvy and social work heart can make for an amazing agency as we have seen in the 12 companies shown in the book.
