The birth of a TIF: more money, more questions 6/2/09
From the article: In 2007, Chicago TIFs collected about $555 million from property owners. Filling the hole left by those redirected TIF dollars is one reason why Cook County sales taxes are among the highest in the nation. “The county is starved for revenue sources and has decided to expand the sales tax to being the highest point in the country,” said Don Haider, who currently serves as the director of Northwestern University’s Kellogg School Center for Nonprofit Management. And with more new TIFs on the horizon, the taxpayer burden could continue to rise. However, most agree that the TIF program contributes to the growth of the city and to the influx of tourist money and other revenue. “This city happens to be going through a tremendous rebirth and regeneration and redevelopment almost everywhere,” Haider said, crediting the TIF program as a major factor in Chicago’s expansion.

Social entrepreneurs mix business, mission
December 15, 2008 - Current thinking suggests entrepreneurs can have a bigger impact with a for-profit firm, said Daniel Diermeier, professor of management and co-founder of the social enterprise program at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management. "In many cases, it is easier to attract capital for a for-profit venture," Diermeier said. "Attracting that capital will allow them to grow faster, have a bigger impact and be better managed." If the product or service won't be profitable but is filling a valuable need in society, consider a non-profit. Full story (01/2009) |

This is correct – they can deal with legal issues later, after they've rescued the brand.” He said the company is making the right moves to regain consumers' trust, and added it's essential that it shows concern for its customers, regardless of potential lawsuits.

Through the Mud: Going into litigation with a tarnished image is tricky, but it’s possible to prevail.
August 1, 2008 - From the article: Once the jury is in place, “The number one thing you have to understand is how this particular issue is going to be perceived,” says Daniel Diermeier, a professor at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. Diermeier lectures on crisis management. “If it is a very technical issue, it will be very difficult, sometimes impossible, to convince the general public. It’s not that they don’t believe you—though that may be true as well. The main problem is that they don’t understand.” Read more |

Refineries Expand to Process Dirty
Oil
March 12, 2008
From the segment: But can we cut pollution and keep
gas prices level? Some economists doubt it. Lynne
Kiesling teaches at Northwestern University. "Regardless
of your perception of corporate profits there is a fundamental
trade-off between environmental quality and increasing our refinery
production." Kiesling says, when refineries invest in pollution
control, consumers ultimately foot the bill. And she says drivers
are to blame – over time, we buy more gasoline –
even when prices rise. So, oil companies are just trying to
meet our demand with new, dirtier oil. (03/2008) |

Lynne
Kiesling, Senior Lecturer in Social Enterprise, comments
on public outrage directed against BP: "In this grand bargain
that goes on between the value of environmental quality and
the value of products and services that we consume, that to
the extent that that balance shifts towards being willing to
pay more to secure environmental value, that that will mean
that more companies like BP and other petroleum refiners, as
we ask them to incur those costs, that we will see the costs
of the goods and services that we buy from them go up. So, again,
we`re seeing still that tradeoff." (09/2007) |
