Seeking examples of corporate departments that have been turned into profit centers. Maybe an in-house advertising, market research, PR or R&D function that was recast as a profit center--either selling internally or externally. (I am not interested in IT examples please). Seeking case studies that document such examples--whether successful or not in attaining profitability.
I don't think it is what you are looking for, but MailChimp.com was created by mistake from a services agency. They were sending emails for their clients and the next thing you know, they were making most of their money from send costs and the rest is history. Sorry I can't be more help.
