Social business touches all areas of a business. Underlying technology will of course be needed to enable the connections and scaleability but the focus is on business functions. New business approaches that incorporate social concepts can impact customers, employees, partners and suppliers. The framework then, is built around these business areas: 1. customer engagement, 2. employee empowerment, 3. partner enablement and 4. supplier engagement. This Prezi fleshes out this framework a little more:
