The fact that more and more people are networked and that everyone can send and receive messages anywhere and at any time requires a break in the behavior of a company, in which all employees have to be involved. A long-term competitive advantage can only be achieved through a consistency between corporate culture and corporate strategy. The central challenge will be to become familiar with this new starting situation and to accept it.
