The Case for Social Media Governance

The Case for Social Media Governance

Without question the use of Social Media is growing rapidly among companies across almost all industry sectors. The promise of stronger more focused customer engagement as provided by Social Media sites and tools like Facebook and Twitter is having a powerful pull on many functions within companies, especially sales, marketing and customer relationship management. However, a company's use of social media requires the same thoughtful execution as any other business initiative. Due to its special nature, risks related to use of Social Media can have a more significant impact on companies if they are not appropriately understood and controlled.
