Segment Specific Strategies for productivity

The word "profitability" is usually associated with a business' financial bottom line, representing the net value generated over a defined period of time. Commercial businesses seek to maximise profitability to generate maximum value for owners, while others such as charities exist to make only as much profit as they need to sustain their reserves. Charities strive to maximise the value they generate for beneficiaries, so any profits over the amount required to sustain reserves represents value not delivered to beneficiaries.
