The Internet has transformed business and society in countless ways from breaking down geographic barriers to coordinating mass protests that brought down governments. In this talk, we offer a brief history of the ways in which the internet has been a disruptive force that reshaped the business landscape and what this means to the future of strategy. Particular attention will be paid to how social media are reshaping the relationship of a firm and its customers as well as its impact on the future of branding as a source of competitive advantage.
