Creating Shared Value

The study is a Czech translation of Creating Shared Value: A How-to Guide for the New Corporate (R)evolution published by FSG in 2011. FSG is a nonprofit consulting firm specializing in strategy, evaluation, and research, founded in 2000 by Michael E.

Creating shared value is the next stage of evolution in the sophistication of the capitalist model.”

Presentations from panel discussion on Digital Communication_Making money with social media held on December 4
The buzzword in the marketing industry nowadays is efficiency, meaning how to create and manage a marketing campaign that delivers tangible ROI. Social and digital media should be a marketers dream tool, right. Never before have we been privy to such a range of tools that help us to measure and analyse, micro-target, and peek into the minds of potential customers. But the question remains: how well do marketeres really use the tools available today? Do we really understand the responsibilities of social media marketing. The customer dialogue has moved on, have marketers fully moved on, too?
For marketing, PR, advertising and product specialists AmCham organized the panel discussion on different aspects of digital communication. Presentations of panelists can be found attached (log in under your username and password) or on the following links.
