The Future of Small Business Marketing and Operations
This past February, the Intuit Institute for the Future issued a 32 page report discussing the three trends that will affect small businesses over the next decade. Given our focus on entrepreneurship and small business here on the smbZen BizJournal, we found the report to be both interesting and incredibly insightful. The trends are:
- “The Connected World: Small Business Management On My Time, On My Terms”
- “Beyond Web 2.0: Technology Fuels Small Business Formation, Operations, and Innovation”
- “Small Business Marketing: The Mindset from Push to Pull”
In the following sections, we discuss trend two and trend three.
