It is not surprising, then, that Baylor faculty member James Roberts, the Ben H.

Today's customers, however, are seeking providers who help them go beyond what they ask for by proactively anticipating evolving needs. And that field is uncluttered, says Christopher Blocker, assistant professor of Marketing.

There is much effort put into accessibility, ease of navigation and even how rapidly pages will load. But when Baylor faculty members Robin and Kirk Wakefield looked at design, they wanted to know what would make a website seem more social. They investigated how the perception of socialness contributed to how people felt about the site, and therefore, the company it represents.

Customers are an extremely powerful force. Is that customer content, overjoyed, disappointed or angry with the product/service offered? Chances are, whatever the reaction, they will let others know by word-of-mouth, whether it's face-to-face or plastered all over the Twittersphere. After all, businesses live and die by their reputations. We discuss the importance of connecting with small business customers through building personal and online relationships.

Successful small business leaders tend to treat risk as a two-sided coin: they identify and mitigate threats on one side while seizing and exploiting opportunities on the other side. Thanks to the rough wake of the global economic crisis, recent technological breakthroughs, better short-term access to specialized skills and intensifying global competition for skilled talent over the long term, there have never been more threats or opportunities confronting U.S. small businesses.
