• The essence of capitalism is expressed in two of its basic features: a) profit maximization and b) market competition.

• My primary early interest was in marketing and my aim was to improve its theories, methods and tools. Early on I pressed companies to adopt a consumer orientation and to be in the value creation business. I didn't pay much attention to the social responsibilities of business until later. Now I am pressing companies to address the triple bottom line: people, the planet, and profits.

• La percepción de las amenazas potenciales para la supervivencia puede ser mucho más importante para determinar el comportamiento que las percepciones de los beneficios potenciales, de modo que la maximización del beneficio no es realmente la fuerza motriz. Es el miedo a la pérdida y no la esperanza de obtener beneficios lo que limita nuestro comportamiento.
