You know, I think that a conversation about what Facebook is – is it a public resource, even though it’s a privately owned corporation? Is it a media company? It is certainly not just a platform, as Facebook has claimed repeatedly. I think that is a really important question.

Now an audience of more than 1 billion people is only a click away from every voice online, and remarkable stories and content can gain flash audiences as people share via social networks, blogs and e-mail.

The considerations of a corporation, especially now, have nothing to do with art or music.
I mean, not wanting to be flip about it, but even within a corporation, you get sort of cult-like behaviors sometimes.
The past two decades revolutionized the way we access information. You and I can have our questions answered with the click of a mouse at any time of day. If America, both corporation and citizen alike, can use these services to solve problems, why can’t Washington?
First of all, a giant corporation probably shouldn’t be being hacked by teenagers. I put that on the corporation, not the teenagers. Teenagers are going to do what teenagers are going to do – rebelling. But if they’re able to hack a big corporation, that seems like the corporation should be better at security.
I’d love to have done ‘John Carter.’ I’d love to work for the Disney Corporation.
The FHA literally drew up the redlining map and then basically distributed – I’m sorry, the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation actually did it, and then distributed to banks who used that as policy to determine how they would lend and who they would lend to. The racism in the system was pervasive and total.
A healthy corporation acts on the interests of its stakeholders and customers.
Smart development builds on a region’s own skills, resources and local businesses. Dumb growth invites a big corporation in, surrenders control and profits to a distant headquarters, undercuts local manufacturers, and risks layoffs without warning.
I don’t think any business has to give up legal protections in order to simplify. The main consideration is that whatever protection, rights and remedies a corporation wants, they should be put in terms that are understandable to the consumer.
Unless you have a sense of values that’s shared by people and turns them loose to do certain things on their own within those sets of values, the organization, whether a nation or corporation or citizen group, just doesn’t work very well.

High speed Internet is vital for education and telemedicine but also for every person, from small business owner and farmer to big corporation and hospital.

The comptroller of New York City ought to have all the characteristics of a major corporation’s CFO – quiet rigor, obsessive care for detail, incorruptible judgment, an ability to work assiduously behind the scenes with the key stakeholders.
The government of Dubai, as much as it is a government, it is a corporation.
I grew up playing football since the day I could walk; some of my greatest memories of childhood are playing touch football in all kinds of weather with my best friends. That’s a part of the American experience that no corporation can destroy.
When you’re a corporation, you’re going to stick with what works. That’s why every McDonald’s is the same.
The First Amendment says nothing about your getting paid for saying anything. It just says you can say it. I don’t believe that if a corporation pulls all the money out of you or a network pulls their money away or you get fired, you’re being censored.

In 1921, Harry Houdini started his own film company called – wait for it – the Houdini Picture Corporation.
For a start-up company, it is all about the religion of the product’s excellence – the success of the product – while for a large corporation, it is the brand. We chose to maintain our start-up image.
It makes no sense to talk of the social obligations of the corporation without reference to its economic obligations. The two are intertwined.
The blunt tools of legislation or union power can force a corporation to pay higher wages, but if employees don’t create an equal amount of additional value, there’s no net gain.
