Charities are often told they should learn from business. The reverse is also true
THE members of the Village People, a pop group founded in the 1970s, are dismayed that the organisation that inspired their greatest hit is to change its name after 166 years. The American branch of the Young Men’s Christian Association, known to arm-waving disco mavens as the YMCA, announced on July 12th that it would become plain “The Y”. This is part of what the outfit describes as a “major brand revitalisation” intended to make it seem warmer and more welcoming. It may turn out to be a misguided rebranding exercise on a par with Coca-Cola’s launch of New Coke and British Airways dropping the Union Jack from the tails of its aircraft.
Non-profit organisations such as the one formerly known as the YMCA are commonly advised to become more like for-profit businesses.

The negative reaction to the Y’s rebranding suggests that non-profit outfits are not all that good at emulating business even when they try.
