Social Media Management

Using Social Media as a Business Instrument

Beschreibung

This is the second edition of the undergraduate textbook 'Social Media Management' which extends the original edition's scope beyond the business angle. The textbook continues with the perspective of organizations - not individuals - and clarifies the impact of social media on their different departments or disciplines, while also exploring how organizations use social media to create business value. To do so, the book pursues a uniquely multi-disciplinary approach by embracing IT, marketing, HR, and many other fields. While the first edition was inspired by the rise of social media tools, the second edition is characterized by a digital economy with increasing digitalization efforts due to newly emerging technologies in Industry 4.0 and the COVID-19 pandemic. Readers will benefit from a comprehensive selection of extended topics, including strategies and business models for social media, influencer marketing, viral campaigns, social CRM, employer branding, e-recruitment, search engineoptimization, social mining, sentiment analysis, crowdfunding, and legal and ethical issues. Each chapter starts with one or more teaser questions to arouse the readers' interest, which will be clarified per topic. The second edition also provides ample self-test materials and reflection exercises.

Rezensionen

"This book ... is an undergraduate textbook. But I must say that I have reviewed and read other undergraduate textbooks but this one in particular it is really well-written and it is really on the right level. ... I want to say that this is a very modern and unique book and it is essential if you work with marketing, social media and corporate management. It will be a good addition to your personal library and for your reading. Enjoy!" (Inspire and Action Blog, inspireandaction.wordpress.com, April, 2017)

"This is an easy-to-read book that provides a rich set of both theoretical background and practical examples on the use and impact of the social media on all business functions and departments. The multi-disciplinary perspective

of the book is its major differentiator in relation to other textbooks related to social media in management. The book constitutes a very useful reading for researchers-academics, students, professionals and policy makers involved and interested in social media management." (Marianna Sigala, Information Technology & Tourism, Vol. 17, 2017)

"Most chapters end with a self-test for review and a bibliography. Scattered within the chapters are case examples, sometimes questions with potential solutions, and sometimes provocative items to ponder. ... There are a plethora of how-to guides to social media management, but this is the first text I know of geared toward nontechnical, undergraduate students in business fields. It is targeted to students in the fields of business and administration ... ." (David Bellin, Computing Reviews, April, 2016)
