Social technology is changing the face of business as it changes the core element at the heart of business: relationships. Charlene Li, co-author of the best-selling Groundswell, moves you into tomorrow’s world of business connections with tools, cases studies and practical experience. Some of her examples might seem a bit obvious, but her advice remains sound and grounded in the real world. getAbstract recommends Li’s forward-looking approach to executives, PR leaders and managers of any-sized business seeking greater social technology involvement.

Summary

Brave Open World

The Internet and the proliferation of social media foster a more open, transparent public sphere. Most traditional corporations resist increasing their internal and external transparency. They hold outdated beliefs about secrecy and control over their image and internal affairs. Your company needs a robust, customer-facing social media presence to engage the millions of potential customers who connect to Facebook, Twitter and other online apps every day.
