PANEL: "How Social Media Will Upend Corporate Structures"
June 6, 2013 : 4:15 PM - 5:00 PM
As social networks’ effects spread throughout an organization, companies will undergo a change in philosophy and a massive redesign of corporate structure and organization. Just as the Internet has displaced jobs by moving staff functions to consumers, the social revolution will replace employees with the collective power of thousands or millions of online, unpaid, and often anonymous individuals. Our speakers will explain how the changes underway already are causing dramatic shifts in the ways early adopters operate, the types (and number) of employees they hire, the speed at which they move, and their operating margins. As those companies succeed, traditional retail organizations will have to follow suit.
Panelists:
Josh Goldman, Norwest Venture Partners
Eric Koger, ModCloth
