Jambi MSMEs are one of the MSMEs that need support in dealing with this pandemic. FTI Untar helped several Jambi SMEs who needed assistance to increase their knowledge in running a business during this pandemic. These MSMEs also need assistance in overcoming problems in running a business by utilizing social media. Although there are many social media used in running businesses in various fields, it should be realized that not all MSMEs can directly apply the use of social media. Limited human resources, limited ability to use technology, geographical conditions that are not possible or the availability of products that can be met affect the ability of MSMEs to use social media. Eleven Jambi UMKM partners who are members of group B1 need assistance in using and maximizing the use of social media to support their businesses. In this service, assistance is provided in the form of material presentation about E-Commerce which can be started from the use of social media and choosing the right solution in the use of social media. The presentation of the material is carried out in the form of an online seminar that conveys the differences between E-Commerce and the various applications that can support the technology. Suggestions regarding possible solutions are given in the form of discussions with each partner who attends this online meeting room. The expected end result is that eleven partners can gain knowledge about whether they are currently using E-Commerce technology. In addition, it is hoped that partners can help to think about whether solutions for using social media can be carried out and how they can maximize the use of social media.UMKM Jambi merupakan salah satu UMKM yang membutuhkan dukungan dalam menghadapi masa pandemi ini. FTI Untar membantu beberapa UMKM Jambi yang membutuhkan bantuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dalam menjalankan usaha saat pandemi ini. UMKM ini juga membutuhkan pendampingan dalam mengatasi masalah dalam menjalankan usaha dengan memanfaatkan sosial media. Walaupun sudah banyak sosial media yang digunakan dalam menjalankan usaha diberbagai bidang, perlu disadari bahwa tidak semua UMKM dapat langsung menerapkan penggunaan sosial media tersebut. Keterbatasan sumber daya manusia, keterbatasan kemampuan dalam menggunakan teknologi, keadaan geografis yang tidak memungkinkan atau ketersediaan produk yang dapat dipenuhi mempengaruhi kemampuan UMKM dalam menggunakan sosial media. Sebelas mitra UMKM Jambi yang tergabung dalam kelompok B1 membutuhkan pendampingan dalam menggunakan dan memaksimalkan penggunaan sosial media dalam mendukung usaha mereka. Dalam pengabdian ini diberikan pendampingan dalam bentuk pemaparan materi mengenai E-Commerce yang dapat dimulai dari penggunaan sosial media dan memilih solusi apa yang tepat dalam penggunaan sosial media. Pemberian pemaparan materi dilakukan dalam bentuk seminar online yang menyampaikan apa perbedaan E-Commerce dan berbagai aplikasi yang dapat mendukung teknologi tersebut. Pemberian saran mengenai solusi yang dapat dilakukan diberikan dalam bentuk diskusi dengan setiap mitra yang hadir ruang pertemuan online ini. Hasil akhir yang diharapkan adalah sebelas mitra dapat memperoleh pengetahuan mengenai apakah mereka saat ini sudah menggunakan teknologi E-Commerce. Selain itu diharapkan mitra dapat membantu untuk memikirkan apakah solusi penggunaan sosial media dapat dilakukan dan bagaimana mereka dapat memaksimalkan penggunaan sosial media.

With growing maturity of social media over the last few years, many companies started using these tools to interact with customers and employees. Business functions such as Sales, Marketing and Human Resources have innovatively embedded these technologies to support their processes and became, as such, an instrument for renewal. The use of social media in Project Management, however, seems to be very limited. The profession lags behind having difficulty keeping pace with the rapidly evolving web 2.0 driven technological innovations which are delivering on their promise to foster collaboration. The paper discusses the potential of social media in the project management practice. As the move towards harnessing the power of social media within the Project Management framework requires adequate organizational change, the study also addresses the implications of such an initiative on structure, culture, and control.

Abstract The increasing use of social media and mobile devices by asylum seekers offers new vetting opportunities for immigration authorities, to verify the identity or to assess national-security or 1F-exclusion aspects. Based on interviews with practitioners in Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden, the first experiences with both of these new methods seem to be mixed, while formal evaluations of the results seem to be lacking. We argue that the increasing reliance on these methods, in combination with the further advancement of technology, raises important questions about possible infringements on the right to private life, as well as the risk of function creep and social sorting. It can be questioned to what extent the use of these new vetting tools and methods is proportional to the results they produce and to what extent fundamental human rights, including privacy, are sufficiently safeguarded.

In the landscape of the contemporary marketing industry that is commonly called content marketing. But the use of this medium is not always use the right strategy. The strategy in this context is content strategy. The result, this process does not show the expected results. One of them is that there is no significant brand awareness among audiences.

The results of the study show that the content strategy chosen by the Pasar Papringan account is informative only, and this not relevant to the audience. The relevance of the content will be obtained if Pasar Papringan does a deeper profiling to the audience and explore themes that are relevant to the Pasar Papringan itself, like culinary, culture, dan peoples around Pasar Papringan. Pemanfaatan media sosial sebagai medium alternatif untuk mengomunikasikan pesan-pesan pemasaran semakin masif. Dalam lanskap industri marketing kontemporer ini yang lazim disebut konten marketing. Namun pemanfaatan medium ini tidak selalu dibarengi pemilihan strategi yang tepat. Strategi yang dimaksud adalah strategi konten. Akibatnya komunikasi yang dilakukan tidak memperlihatkan hasil yang memuaskan. Salah satunya adalah tidak terlihatnya brand engagament secara signifikan. Padahal pemanfaatan konten marketing secara tepat dapat menghasilkan brand engagament yang sangat kentara. Oleh sebab itu selalu menarik untuk mengamati strategi konten yang digunakan oleh sebuah brand, lalu melihat apakah startegi yang digunakan telah sesuai atau tepat denga tujuan yang diharapkan. Begitu juga dengan aktivitas marketing yang dicoba dilakukan oleh Pasar Papringan melalui akun Instagram @PasarPapringan. Dalam penelitian ini penulis akan meneliti konten marketing media sosial akun Instagram Pasar Papringan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif. Sedangkan, jenis penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian yang sifatnya deskriptif yang menggambarkan secara sistematis fakta atau karakteristik populasi tertentu secara faktual dan cermat. Dari sini penulis akan melihat apakah konten marketing media sosial tersebut telah diproduksi sesuai tujuannya atau belum. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan strategi konten yang dipilih oleh akun Pasar Papringan masih bersifat informatif, dan belum relevan dengan audiens. Relevansi konten akan diperoleh jika Pasar Papringan dapat melihat lebih dalam profil audiens dan mengeksplorasi tema-tema yang relevan dengan Pasar Papringan itu sendiri, seperti kuliner, kebudayaan, orang-orang yang ada di seputar Pasar Papringan.

Recent studies have shown that social media platforms such as Facebook and LinkedIn, have become emergent agents for employer and recruitment Agents to search for potential employees to work for their companies. Employers and recruitment agents are using social networking sites for recruitment as these sites offers a vast database of people information. Social media has made an easy pathway for employers and recruitment agents to narrow down their search to the targeted group of people and hire the best employees, thus elevating online recruitment to greater height. However, there are risks associated with the use of social media as a recruitment tool and users must understand that once they become part of a social media community, their online profiles can be accessed by almost everyone.
