Blogs and Business a Main Street Institute workshop
8/14/2009 (Kelley Indianapolis)
Blogs and social media continue to revolutionize the way business is done today as more business owners are taking to the Internet to help grow their operation.
Manjit Trehan, an adjunct professor of computers and business at the IU Kelley School of Business Indianapolis, said the buzz about blogs and business comes from the realization that blogs can effectively reach more customers in a cheaper and cutting-edge fashion.
Trehan will bring his knowledge and expertise to the next installment of the Main Street Institute business workshops. His presentation, “Blogs and Business,” will be held on 8:30 a.m. on Sept. 18 in the University Library.
“This will be about understanding the power of blogging,” said Trehan, who also works for the University Information and Technology Services for Indiana University.
“I’m not going to be sending people away with a tutorial on how to blog … this will not be a how-to, but they will get numbers and examples and hopefully an awareness of blogging and a real motivation to blog,” he added.
The Main Street Institute is an educational partnership between Kelley Indianapolis and the Greater Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce.
