Dear Ken,

My view on the social responsibility of companies was heavily influenced by Milton Friedman, who insisted that the business of business is to make a profit while obeying the law. But it seems like hardly anyone agrees with him anymore, if they ever did. What’s the right way to think about “doing good” when working with my team on our strategy?

—Seeking Social Responsibility

Dear Seeking,

Yes, in Milton Friedman’s 1962 book, Capitalism and Freedom, the Nobel Laureate economist declared, “There is one and only one social responsibility of business — to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits.” But in a recent Fortune poll, only 5 percent of CEOs agreed with the following statement: “I believe my company should mainly focus on making profits, and not be distracted by social goals.” So, you’re right — it seems that few business leaders agree with Friedman’s dictum.

The strongest spur to changing what you’re doing is not so much seeing your situation differently as seeing yourself differently. I’ve usually observed that this sort of shift in self-perception comes about through confrontations, challenges, and feedback that’s unsettling and shows us that we’re not as we thought we were.

Enterprises are witness to information explosion due to businesses and individuals embracing digital communications and accumulating data. Enterprises are faced with the challenge to successfully harness the power of Big Data to realize business strategies and optimize operations. This data also has the potential to generate business opportunities, reduce costs and impact organization's efficiency. Big Data magnifies the unique benefits of mobile - ubiquity, immediacy and relevance.

Big data can help you build an effective data strategy to drive innovation. Problem areas can be identified and new solutions can be developed. The insights provided by Big Data will help you in operational improvements and to devise innovative ways for various processes.
Why is big data analytics important?
Big data analytics helps organizations harness their data and use it to identify new opportunities. That, in turn, leads to smarter business moves, more efficient operations, higher profits and happier customers. In his report Big Data in Big Companies, IIA Director of Research Tom Davenport interviewed more than 50 businesses to understand how they used big data. He found they got value in the following ways:
Cost reduction:
Big data technologies such as Hadoop and cloud-based analytics bring significant cost advantages when it comes to storing large amounts of data – plus they can identify more efficient ways of doing business.
Faster, better decision making:
With the speed of Hadoop and in-memory analytics, combined with the ability to analyze new sources of data, businesses are able to analyze information immediately – and make decisions based on what they’ve learned.
New products and services:
With the ability to gauge customer needs and satisfaction through analytics comes the power to give customers what they want. Davenport points out that with big data analytics, more companies are creating new products to meet customers’ needs.
