Before they start their business, they should think about management team with business and program related experience. By combining both experience and intellectual knowledge, they could share each member's emotion to make that business better. On the other hand, OneWorld Health is showng us a good model which succeeded to combine several things to need for nonprofit business. Well organized business plan help them to make a various contribution( for industry, for governrment and academia, for developing world partners) to our world because they didn't limit the purpose of their business as a nonprofit model. Only difference between Seedco and OneWorld Health was whether they made proper business plan before launching their business or not. So making a business plan can affect seriously to the result they'll make.

Mi Hyun:
It's past deadline! Where's your post? Please update me through email or SMS about your situation.

JiMan:
Your approach is a comparative approach which is not what I was looking for. Some recommendations on your writing.

1. Really this should be two paragraphs - one on Seedco - and another on One World Health. Can you see where you should have used an extra "enter" button to create a separate paragraph?

2. Paragraph 1: Who are "they"?

3. Paragraph 2: Your summary is much more expansive than my expectation, because you were looking for opportunities to compare Seedco and OneWorldHealth. Great job on this - though outside the scope of a summary. Also, watch your subject/verb agreement in your sentences. Can you find your mistakes?

I was looking for something that looked like this:

The first link – Seedco – has a pdf file that should have four case studies of nonprofit business models. However, this link is circular, it never displays the the pdf file.

The second link – Knowledge Visualization & Integration (Idiagram) – is a jpg image of a mind map of a nonprofit business model. In it, the areas of sharing and doing are continuously supported by new and multiple iterations of knowledge, money and emotion.

The third link – OneWorldHealth – offers a business model in the nonprofit sector that connects human need, scientific effort and the marketplace. Key elements of the model include partnership and collaboration of specific talents and resources brought to a scientific project by each participant.

I think that nonprofit business has lots of difficulty to have because they should fit their purpose to suit society's and pursue their profits. It is so hard but they should do and be needed to do.
To follow the successful Nonprofit Business Models, they are needed to build management teams with both business and program-related experience before launching their ventures. And they choose business ventures which can fulfill the needs and abilities of that population. Before targeting, they should know target client population and their particular industry. According to following this, they can find the right strategic.
It is so important to make good business plan because they don't know exactly what happen will occur. And they should satisfy two aspect, one thing is for industry and the other hand is for developing world partners.

So the assginment was just summarizing the article right?
I'm sorry that I was thinking another way. Because there were 3 different links so I thought that I should analyze those 3 articles together. And in may part, you just wrote "what is the problem?" for link 1.
I should check every link but according to the question you wrote on that, I just read the original article for link 1.
If you noticed me clear requirment or more detailed question what you expected for me to do, I think it was easier than analyzing whole 3 articles together.
I'm still confused whether the 4 articles that I found on link of SEEDCO are right thing what you explained to me or not.
I found 4 different articles on SEEDCO link and the name of each article is "Workforce Development", "Asset Building", "Community Entrepreneurs & Employers", "Community Finance".
Are these things right? If right, that means I should summarize 1 original one plus 4 additional articles into 1-2 sentences.
I learnd my lesson from this. I will check every link that you inform me to visit. And I'll do the only thing that you want according to your additional question like summarizing into 50 words.
I checked the other's post. And I'm really really appriciate for your exact reply.
