Peter Drucker Profit Quotations

Profit is not a cause but a result-

Profit is not the purpose of a business, but rather the test of its validity

The concept of profit maximization is, in fact, meaningless.

We can ill afford to have activities conducted as "non-profit," that is, as activities that devour capital rather than form it, if they can be organized as activities that form capital, as activities that make a profit.

Inside an organization there are only cost centers. The only profit center is a customer whose check has not bounced.
