Be an Expert in Social Media and Big Data Analytics
Let’s take a look at some real examples.
A hot topic recently is, if you read the news at all, you would know that some taxi drivers complained about the UBER company and UBER drivers stepped into their businesses and, some people raised their concerns about the safety and insurance issues when using UBER services. This is the kind of thing we are talking about, these Internet services companies like UBER, or AirB&B, if you travel, and many many more other Internet services companies that are quickly getting a hold in the business world and displacing a lot of in common companies that traditionally had a good market share with what they do.
UBER is replacing taxi, Airb&B is replacing a lot of hotel chains or even those hotel booking websites. These 2 companies have become some of the most successful companies in the world in recent times.
It is definitely worth noting how they are creating this success, and how they harness the power of the Internet and dramatically changing the way we live our lives in a good way.
These are not the only companies, we are seeing a lot more companies go the same route, using innovation, Internet services, mobile app technologies and social networks to change the existing business landscape
With this wave of new technology-enabled business environment, it presents to us a lot of new opportunities to develop our career, if not our own businesses, in these areas, and this stream focuses in that.

So what does it do when you are equipped with this kind of knowledge?
Well, for one thing, with these what you can do is, you’ll be able to understand technology in a global business setting, you will be able to identify what are the kinds of technology start-ups that are going to make it, that are going to become the next big thing, you are going to be able to identify the next UBER, the next airB&B, the next Tencent!
You might end up want to develop your career with these companies or even if not, you might decide to buy these stocks
If I knew that Tencent is going to have such a big success in recent years, I would have sold everything 10 yrs ago and invested in their stocks and obviously I didn’t and that’s why I am standing here talking to you.
Too late to regret, but well, apart from Tencent, since there are other famous up-trend companies doing pretty well recently, can you guess what they are? (Google and Facebook)
So you may also want to get an eye on Alphabet and Facebook too, hahaha
