Participant’s business model succeeded while its CEO personally gatekept all scripts

Evidence

But with over $3 billion in box office (shared among coproducers and distributors) and over eighteen hundred award nominations (including over seventy for Academy Awards), the business side of the double bottom line is certainly working as planned. Personally approving all scripts himself, Jeffrey Skoll’s ego appears to be one of the company’s objectives as well; upon the success of An Inconvenient Truth, Skoll claimed that “global warming was now part of the international conversation.” — Andrew deWaard, Derivative Media, 292
