Talked to Your PR and Marketing Teams, Lately? You’re in charge of all tech innovation at your B2B, and as the CIO, you are probably analytical and love statistics.

The global financial crisis served as a wake-up call to investors: few investments are immune to panicked selling activity. As a case in point, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta published a graphic indicating that stock prices plunged 50% from the high to low between October 2007-March 2009.
