Strategic Management Practices Issues Group: Sales Strategies

Chicago Booth Alumni Club of Chicago

May 21, 2010: 7:30 AM - 8:45 AM

Strategic Management Practices Issues Group May Topic: Sales - What's Changing? As we continue to examine the impact of changing technologies on business strategy, we are beginning to understand patterns of shifting orientations. We began the year looking at unusual collaborations, then Social Media, then turned to Search as a central axis to problem solving and information gathering. Analytics was next, as it too has become central to all strategy decisions—from identifying customers to which customers have identified you and how the growing complexity of models both mitigates and exacerbates risk.
