Social media perspectives in business and government
31st of March 2014, School of Business and Management, Queen Mary University of London
Organisers: Dr Panos Panagiotopoulos, Dr Thanos Papadopoulos and Professor Savvas Papagiannidis
The e-Business & e-Government Special Interest Group of the British Academy of Management organises a development workshop on Monday the 31st of March 2014 at the School of Business and Management, Queen Mary University of London.
The aim of the workshop is to bring together management researchers interested in the impact of social media and related applications in business and government. Over the last few years, public sector organisations and businesses have embarked upon the use of social networking sites, blogging, microblogging, wikis and other tools to support their traditional activities, innovate their business models and managerial practices as well as enhance the creation and delivery of value to their respected publics.
The workshop invites papers that use case studies, surveys or other methods that can advance our understanding of social media in organisations. Areas of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
- Social media in the creation and delivery of value for both public and private organisations, for example, enhancing organisational responsiveness and transparency.
- Theoretically grounded case studies that demonstrate the negative or positive impact of social media in organisations, in the context of specific events or initiatives.
- The role of social media in public communication, citizen engagement and the development of relationships with key groups of the public.
- Strategies, policies and organisational processes for the planning and implementation of social media.
- New perspectives on researching social media, specifically approaches using online data collection techniques and social media analytics.
