Digital Behaviours Shaping the Future of Businesses

In the present time where a digital-first lifestyle pervades every aspect of our lives from communication and entertainment to learning and running businesses, it is important to understand how the digital landscape is shaping our behaviours, preferences, and approaches to available opportunities.

In Malaysia’s rapidly developing digital market, the Meltwater’s 2024 Global Digital Report offers an insightful view of the evolving digital world, revealing the dynamics of Internet penetration, social media trends, and digital behaviours across the globe.

In this episode of Enterprise Explores, we look into the highlights of the 2024 Global Digital Report by Meltwater regarding the challenges and opportunities presented in digital age, focusing on how enhanced connectivity, changing social media preferences, and how technological advancements impact societies and businesses. Together to help us further delve into the topic is David Hickey, the Executive Director for Asia Pacific at Meltwater.
