Le social business et les nouveaux modèles d'accès aux biens et services peuvent-ils aider les multinationales des pays développés à se réinventer? Peuvent-ils être pour ces entreprises des leviers de renouveau stratégique? L'expérience de Danone suggère que oui. Mais une analyse fine des processus s'impose si l'on veut discerner les facteurs de succès.
Social business and new models of access to goods and services: can they help multinational companies from developed countries reinvent themselves? Or even, can they become levers of strategic renewal for these firms? Danone's experience suggests they can indeed. However, precise analysis of the underlying processes is required if we are to discern the factors that lead to success.
