- What are the advantages and drawbacks of universities using social media to communicate with various stakeholders; for example, students, potential students, alumni, and donors?
- Do you think there are more or fewer communication barriers when using social media versus using traditional media in the absence of social media? What should managers do to be sure they communicate effectively when using social media?
- Looking at the rules and regulations that universities are establishing, do you think that business organizations should have rules for employees using social media? What types of rules do you think would be necessary? Be as specific as possible.
- What have been your experiences—both positive and negative—with social media? From your experiences, what guidelines could you suggest for managers and organizations?
Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:
- Be 3-4 pages in length
- Be formatted in APA style
Write clearly and logically, as you will be graded on content, analysis, and your adherence to the tenets of good academic writing. You should be succinct, where possible, while also exploring the topics appropriately. Remember that you can always improve your work by providing support from additional outside scholarly sources, which helps to bolster your own assertions and supplement your ideas.
