The document presents the key ideas of a Social Business Manifesto. It discusses how the future enterprise will need to be more fluid, reactive and resilient to changing environments. It defines social business as organizations that systematically engage their entire ecosystems of employees, customers, partners and suppliers. It provides figures on the increasing adoption of social technologies in enterprises and lists benefits like better performance in marketing, operations and innovation. The manifesto aims to develop theses on social business and share them along with opposing antitheses to further the dialogue. It encourages adding new theses to the manifesto.
