Social Medi The World

Executives today operating in large corporations know just how tough it is to get away from network tools like Yammer, SharePoint, etc. Such instruments are currently used in a regular base to cooperate communication, entertain groups, and trace gatherings. Found in an article, social media entrepreneur and political organizer Jeremy Heimans said, “ Social media helps all institutions become transparent and engage in a more participatory dialogue with the stakeholders. Social media and technology have helped political organizations, providing a more democratic mechanism to get people involved” (429Magazine).

Today, social media play a significant role in everyday life and they are so powerful that many nonprofit organizations also use them to spread information, call for volunteers, leverage fund raising, connect with stakeholders and the public. However, compared with corporate sectors, the use of social media by nonprofit organizations is less ubiquitous and efficient. According to the work of Lovejoy and Saxton (2012), and Goldkind (2015), many nonprofits don’t use social media properly and some non-users don’t have social media accounts and devote their time in other aspects of organization improvements instead. Even for the nonprofits that use social media very often, they adopt social media mainly for information function, accounting

In the earlier days the organizations are mainly planned according to the customer’s needs and about the adopting the new technologies for their development of their business. Then dint even think about the social media in that stage. When the social media was introduced

In recent years the world has witnessed the rapid acceleration of a new class of information technologies, commonly known as social media. Social media supports interpersonal communication and collaboration through the use of internet-based platforms. Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram are some of the well-known sites that are used by hundreds of millions of people. Although only 18 percent of managers believe that social media is important for their business today, more than 63 percent assert that they will be important for business within three years (Kiron et al. 2012). The economic impact of social media on business could exceed $1 trillion, most of which is gained from more efficient communication and collaboration within and across organizations (Chui et al. 2012). Many managerial challenges associated with applications of social media are consistent with those long recognized by the IS discipline (Kane et al. 2010). These new tools also provide users, managers, and developers with capabilities that allow them to act and interact with each other in ways that were difficult or were impossible to do in earlier online or offline settings. These novel capabilities may undermine or violate the assumptions of established theory, potentially requiring researchers to adapt theories for application to social media settings or possibly develop new ones (Majchrzak 2009).

Social networking has never been more popular, with social tools accounting for 20 percent of all online activity, per ComScore (Laudon & Laudon, 2016, p. 65). Many of today’s employees are already well versed in the basics of public social networking using tools such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram (Laudon & Laudon, 2016, p. 65). Social media is the next wave of the digital transformation that started with the web (Holmes, 2015). Social media has already profoundly altered the way individuals communicate with one another and is changing how businesses communicate with customers. In fact, three-quarters of online adults in the U.S. now use social media sites (Holmes, 2015). Social media, like it or not,

Social media continues to have a major impact on the world today. From MySpace to Facebook, there is no denying the inevitable continued growth of social media over the decade. Even though the main purpose of social media may be to share your thoughts, opinions and events with your friends there are still evident drawbacks. As I was growing up through high school, social media just began to grow and become extremely popular. If you did not have a Facebook or twitter account you would be kept out of the loop or circle, also, it was the growing way of communicating with one another. However, even as I did own almost every type of social media account at the time, it did not lead to the most memorable high school experience socially. While I was growing up, I played soccer almost my entire life, but I did not have the typical soccer body. I was more stocky and short, compared to the ideal soccer player look, for example, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was tall and lean. My teammates would constantly tease me, especially through social media. They would send me jokes through messages online, mainly of “memes” of an overweight professional athlete that I remind them of or making jokes to me in person about how I would not be able to run the entire game since I was overweight. Furthermore, I would see pictures of professional athletes and I would rarely see any of them that were not exceptionally lean and muscular.

One out of every nine people in the world use Facebook, with an estimated 700 billion minutes being spent every month on this application, it is interesting to note that over 2.5 million organizations have a Facebook presence in addition to their corporate websites. An estimated 250 million people access social media sites through their mobile devices. The impact that social media has on the daily lives of people is beyond “like” on Facebook or “re-tweet” on Twitter. Organizations are feeling the need to be present on not just one social media platform, however, on ensuring that they are “available and listening” to all at all times.

The authors’ first task in their research was to come up with a mutually agreed-upon and easy to understand definition of social media. For a starting or “base” definition, the authors cite the Federal Web Managers Council (FWMC), a group of federal government specialists assigned to develop best practices for federal agency Web sites and general online presence. Many information technology (IT) arms of various federal agencies have adopted and
