MSI Webinar: Keeping Up with the Internet (Part 1)
(Part One of Two)
The first points to how solo entrepreneurs – about 1.3 million people liberated from salaried employment – make markets that once required corporations to run them. Perhaps some of your workforce has been lost to people pursuing their own ventures, or perhaps you can outsource some of your tasks to them. The second session looks at the other end of the spectrum – how markets are increasingly the result of sometimes uneasy alliances between large tech platforms and mainstream firms. How are these alliances playing out in retailing, advertising, CRM, and business intelligence?
