(Jossey-Bass: San Francisco) -- Social Business by Design: Transformative Social Media Strategies for the Connected Company, by Dion Hinchcliffe and Peter Kim (Jossey-Bass, 2012), is the definitive management book on how to rethink the modern organization in the social media era. Based on extensive research and work through the Dachis Group, thought leaders Hinchcliffe and Kim deftly explore how the social, cultural, and technological trends provoked by the social media explosion are transforming the business environment.
Designed as both a strategic overview and a hands-on resource, Social Business by Design clearly shows how to choose and implement a social business strategy and maximize its effect. The book explains the mechanisms, applications, and advantages of a strategic array of social media topics, including social media marketing, social product development, crowdsourcing, social supply chains, social customer relationship management, and more. Examples are provided from high-profile companies that have implemented social business strategies, such as SAP, Procter & Gamble, MillerCoors, Bloomberg, HBO, Ford, and IBM.
