The ways big data is impacting today’s business climate may be too numerous to count. The ability to access oceans of data relatively easily is a fairly new but massive phenomenon. And while many are excited about the capability, few are seriously examining how to leverage this data to exercise the core function of any business – sell a product or service in the marketplace. Few areas are as greatly impacted by this development as marketing and customer relationship management. But how does having so much data about customers improve marketing decisions for companies?
There are currently strides being made in answering these questions. Certainly, cloud-based solutions are available that can help businesses leverage data to lower their Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), for example.
Studying these emerging issues quite intensely is expert Michael Haenlein, Professor of Marketing at the business school ESCP Europe, Associate Dean of the ESCP Europe Executive PhD Program and the Scientific Director of the ESCP Europe Research Center on Big Data. Professor Haenlein’s research expertise lies in customer relationship management (CRM), social media and marketing research. Specifically, he analyses the relationship between social networks and customer profitability.

Growing a family business into a profitable and successful enterprise is a challenging process and, once there, other questions present themselves. How does the family deal with its newfound wealth and affluence? How do you ensure children grow up without an unhealthy sense of entitlement? How do you adjust to this strange new world?
Dr James Grubman, wealth psychologist and family business consultant, helps families find practical answers to these questions. Aside from his academic training, he draws from a wealth of personal experience having first navigated this rocky terrain when helping his mother sort through their estate following his father’s passing. Later, he and his wife had to find ways of raising children responsibly in an affluent household.
Dr Grubman is the author of two books that explore this territory - Strangers in Paradise: How Families Adapt to Wealth Across Generations, and Cross Cultures: How Global Families Negotiate Change Across Generations, which he co-authored with Dennis Jaffe, PhD.
Recently Tharawat Family Business Podcast sat down with Dr Grubman to discuss the complexities of newfound wealth and the problems that arise when cultures and generations come into conflict.
