Understanding how social media works around
the world
Can’t be viewed in many areas
of the world
There is a difference in
promotions…
What it is you want to
accomplish?
It comes down to empathy…
Where is your
audience?
How do I engage with
them?

Activities that use social media, social software
and social networks to enable the more
efficient, effective and mutually useful
connection between people, information and
assets. These connections can drive business
decisions, actions and outcomes across the
enterprise.

Case Study

Sales team
SAP found by utilizing social business
techniques, customers are now
more informed when they engage
with a sales person.
• SAP team focused on Slovakia Banking, which had its own social media
presence with a small following
• Consolidated into a SAP Finance Channel to promote many conversations
and cross-educate on topics
• Steering people away from “small microcosms” and toward broader
communities
Example: SAP Slovakia Banking
Before:
Overly specific, alienating
and dividing audiences
After:
Unifying, bringing in people
of diverse interests
