Not all projects are profit driven, nor is the passion for project management. Perhaps Danny is more concerned about social projects that benefit a wider community, and that is totally fine. The dissertation you are doing could perhaps be about the intangible benefits of doing social projects that are not financially profitable, but may provide value well into the future and change lives. A project that comes to mind to me was a project to deliver fresh water to a provincial town in the Philippines. The cost/benefit analysis was not based on monetary profits, but by the value to the local community, as assessed by the local community, of having fresh running water to this particular town. Now to Eric's point, a "company" is normally about profit. The company could emerge itself in tenders from the government and other NGO's to deliver projects that provide both a profit to the company (although less than the big consultancy firms, in order to win the job), and provide a real benefit to the community. They call that a win/win in most circles.
You always needs money to run the business. No matter is a NGO or any other type of organization. Business is a word commonly related to money but it does not right when you see how to define the business where the organization will perform her activities. So, NGOs and other need to think how they will get the money to run their operations.
