Like I said, shareholder value and profit plays a huge role in people getting off their ass and doing something to help the general public, seeing as how you have mostly worked at a university you don't have an executive board screaming at you
Universities have their equivalent of executive boards, trust me. And when you have almost 7,000 full time employees, the annual budget is $821M, and the R&D budget alone is $268M, the management acts the same whether it's a university or a corporation. Trust me on this one too. And yes, I'm not pulling those numbers out of a hat: http://www.vt.edu/aboutvt/universityataglance.html (And even at a quarter-billion a year, we're only #55 on the research list - there's places where the money being tossed around is even bigger, and upper management acts correspondingly....)
