Research Paper
Before reading the article, I held the assumptions as those described in the article. For instance, I thought that social media is only for fun, i.e., it is used for posting photos. I also thought that social media is for young people, and that is more of a fad. Although I appreciated the fact that social media is meant for marketing and promotional activities, it has never appeared to me that social media can be used for any serious business function.
However, my opinion has shifted after treading on the extent to which social media is growing and the manner in which it is revolutionizing the business world (Leggett & King-Reilly, 2020). I agree with the findings by the authors that people are embracing social media across different sectors. That notwithstanding, there is a manner in which social media is supposed to be used. Social media is likened to a forest that is full of money animals. There is a lot of misinformation that can be perpetrated through social media, and this can cause more harm than good. The negative implications should not hinder organizations from using social media platforms to grow their enterprises or advance their agenda (Menczer, 2016). Social media platforms present many opportunities and exhibit more potential for growth in the long run.
The article that I agreed most with is “How to Master Social Media and Why It’s Good for Business now.” The article gives an excellent insight into how connected people are and shows that there has been an exponential growth in the manner in which people use social media. There is still half of the world that has not bought into this; however, there is adequate certainty that they are being brought on board. This is something that most people have experienced, i.e., the increasing level of connectivity across the globe. The new generation may never be aware of the existence of analogue and hard-wired technologies. I agree with the damaging myths about social media, as the article has helped me demystify these myths, which I also held (O’Reilly, 2020). There is so much about social media that anyone who intends to make a milestone in business should embrace it.
The author of the article “How to Master Social Media and Why It’s Good for Business now” has used the evidence more effectively because he has incorporated statistics of two different time periods to illustrate how social media has grown over time (O’Reilly,2020). There are also real-world examples used in demystifying the myths held about social media. Although the data used has not been referenced/ attributed to specific sources, there is a sense in which the data is compelling and that the examples given can also be verified from other sources. The genre and form chosen by the author were also appropriate as the author was able to strike a balance between business and social genres by highlighting how social media has expanded the sphere of interaction and influence while at the same time providing more business opportunities.
Acme Widget should adopt the use of social media. This should be strategically implemented in such a way that the business can avoid the pitfalls that are associated with social media. The organization can implement a social media strategy across its important departments, e.g., marketing (for promotion), human resource (for recruitment), strategic communications, among other purposes.
