Reputation Management in the age of social media: 3 key trends Social media applications make it easy for any user to collect, change, create or share content. Whether the user is writing blog posts, uploading videos on YouTube, networking with friends on Facebook, or sharing news on Twitter, one common motive is clearly discernible: a traditionally passive consumer of content created and disseminated by mass media is changing into an active communicator.

Cloud computing as an advantage for small and medium-sized companies Cloud computing is turning, or better, has turned the sector of Information Technology and Communication upside down. If you have a business model that has been successful for many years, or even decades, you can be sure that now, in some place that could be a garage, there is someone developing something that will turn this successful model into a completely obsolete formula. This is a fact we need to get used to, because it is absolutely impossible to change it.

Reaching your customers by any means We are living in a multichannel world. The popularity of smart phones and tablets has created and changed the marketing and communication environment whereby every enterprise must now have the ability to connect with their customers not only through traditional mail and email channels, but also through mobile channels, apps, SMS, and even social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.
Felix von Planta

Economic Freedom and the Euro Crisis Economic freedom has always been crucial for a country's growth, prosperity and economic welfare. This can be said for the small, landlocked economy, Switzerland. And its status proves to be vital as the never-ending euro crisis sees no sign of ceasing.

Dynexity: the great challenge facing organizations Combining dynamism with complexity leads to what Professor Heiko Riekmann, the German economist and renowned management professor, has defined as dynexity, the 21st century's great challenge. A market environment poses for firms and their managers various "dynexities" that must not only be faced, but also - and most importantly - overcome, to ensure the success of a business.
