Answer 1

A manager in a for-profit business focuses on the bottom-line, while a manager of a non-profit focuses on social impact.

Step-by-step explanation:

A manager in a for-profit business focuses primarily on the bottom-line, while a manager of a non-profit focuses on social impact. For-profit businesses are motivated to earn profits, which is the difference between revenues and costs. Their main goal is to maximize shareholder wealth by increasing profitability and market share.

On the other hand, non-profit organizations prioritize their mission and addressing social needs, with profitability taking a backseat to fulfilling their social purpose.
