Two Populations

Social media provides professional organizations with a new means of distributing information and perhaps even facilitating learning among their members. This study compares Twitter use in two populations, academics and corporate professionals, and in two interaction contexts, conference and non-conference, looking at how knowledge is shared by organizations. Organizations in three fields—nursing, information technology, and educational technology—were included in the study. A content analysis showed that both types of organizations focused more on supplying original content than providing links or retweets. Conferences generated the greatest activity levels and industry organizations were more savvy with Twitter use, although on the whole hashtags were underutilized and much room remains to maximize use of social media. Nonetheless, a wealth of knowledge sharing that can support information learning and professional development is taking place in these online networks.

While organizational information technology capacity influences update frequency, organizational background influences the preference for informational, dialogic, or promotional posts.

This chapter is aimed at presenting a review of evolutionary design paradigms, which determine the end user’s role in IT (Information Technology) projects across recent decades. This review covers different perspectives starting from technology-oriented sequential software development lifecycles, through user-centred approaches, ending finally in contemporary service design approaches supported by e-business and social media. Finally, the chapter discusses the need for “soft skills” required from the designers who wish to apply the service-relevant perspective to their IT projects. Conclusions cover novelty aspects of the designer-user interaction in service-relevant design paradigms and the impact of new design paradigms on human creativity and innovation.
