Social media continues to proliferate. This article presents a qualitative analysis of twelve cases of social-media-based knowledge sharing. The analysis reveals six categories of knowledge sharing in the social context. The analysis indicates that personalization of the organization entities and socialization of the participation on social media for knowledge sharing are two key success factors. The findings suggest that the social dimension, which has been absent from the traditional knowledge management models, broadens the scope of sustainable knowledge sharing practices in the digital society.

Web 2.0 tools are more and more prevalent in organizational life, and this chapter identifies their multiple influences on knowledge sharing practices, as well as the main challenges of the social turn in knowledge sharing. Indeed, it is argued that social capital, a key concept from social sciences that recognizes the benefits practice derived from connections between people, also plays a role in the context of renewed knowledge sharing practices (i.e. based on Web 2.0 technologies). Therefore, this chapter provides an analysis of the influence of social capital in leveraging knowledge sharing in a Web 2.0 context. Finally, using secondary data, this research details a specific case to illustrate how employees can benefit from new forms of knowledge sharing that rely on interactive tools and their social capital.

Social media technologies have been embraced by individuals and organizations on such a massive scale in the last decade that knowledge sharing and application has molded into a totally new paradigm. It has not only changed the social discourse of communication but also affected the knowledge management strategies of organizations. This raises quite a number of fundamental challenges out of which three are being dealt in this chapter. The first challenge is whether knowledge management has fully embraced social media as a channel of mass reach the way it did in case of other means of mass communication. The second one is the question of speed and extent of knowledge sharing in social media. The third challenge is whether social media strategy can provide a high advantage to smaller and newer companies in comparison to older but larger organizations. It is apparent that the commercial aspect of social media is easy for a tête-à-tête but difficult to articulate and design the right strategy because it needs a lot of refinements owing to inherent complexities in the process.

The term Web 2.0 was introduced by OReilly (2005) as the new stage in the Internet evolution referring to a collection of online applications sharing a number of common characteristics: The Web as a platform, Harnessing of the Collective Intelligence, Data is the Next Intel Inside, End of the Software Release Cycle, Lightweight Programming Models, Rich User Experiences. The term Web 2.0 or Social Media refers to applications enabling the creation, editing and dissemination of user-generated content. These applications are one of the main components of the current Internet environment commonly called Web 2.0. The importance and popularity of the Social Media as marketing tools and communication channels is growing and field studies provide evidence that these can strongly affect consumer behavior. An increasing number of studies suggest that corporate interest on the Web 2.0 domain keeps growing and more and more firms are introducing different social media tools into their daily business routines as well as into their marketing strategies. Despite the fact that thousands of corporations are already seriously engaged or experimenting with the Social Media as marketing tools there is also a high amount of retailers that do not use them. The objective of this study is to analyze the reasons why retailers do not use Web 2.0 tools and the main barriers that they consider to not adopt them, comparing with the retailers that use these tools.

The influence of the social media on science communication: strategies of GMO opponents on FacebookThe aim of the article is to discuss a growing role of the social media in science communication. Unlike in traditional mass media – TV, radio, press – the Web 2.0 tools allow to convey a much wider representation of opinions on science and technology, including those opposing or questioning the mainstream research. This paper presents the strategies of communication used by one of the biggest Polish anti-GMO groups on Facebook (“GMO To Nie To”) to raise their arguments and gain public support. It concludes that the use of new communication tools such as the social media introduces inevitable changes in the dynamic of science communication, which opens new research opportunities. Wpływ mediów społecznościowych na komunikację naukową: strategie przeciwników GMO na FacebookuCelem artykułu jest wskazanie na rosnącą rolę mediów społecznościowych w komunikacji naukowej. W przeciwieństwie do mediów tradycyjnych – telewizji, radia i prasy – narzędzia, jakie oferuje Web 2.0, pozwalają na reprezentację daleko bardziej różnorodnych opinii na temat nauki i technologii, również tych, które przeciwstawiają się powszechnie uznawanym wynikom badań lub je kwestionują. W dalszej części artykułu wskazane zostały strategie komunikacyjne największej na polskim Facebooku grupy skupiającej przeciwników GMO („GMO To Nie To”), stosowane, by zyskać wsparcie dla swoich racji i argumentów. Artykuł kończy się konkluzją, że wykorzystanie nowych narzędzi komunikacyjnych, np. mediów społecznościowych, wprowadza nieuchronne zmiany w dynamice komunikacji naukowej, co otwiera jednocześnie nowe możliwości badawcze.

This chapter looks to the future of teaching realism with Web 2.0 technologies. After discussing the ways in which technologies of data modeling can reveal patterns for interpretation, the chapter examines how these technologies can update the social-reform agenda of realism as exemplified by William Dean Howells’s attempted intervention into the Haymarket Riot in 1886. The advent of Web 2.0 techologies offers students a way to harness the genre’s sense of social purpose to knowledge-sharing mechanisms to create a vehicle for political consciousness-raising in real time. The result is “Realism 2.0,” a realism that enables readers to engage in their world, which is less text-centric than it was for previous writers.
