The activities of modern enterprises are affected by both new opportunities and challenges. An example of the challenges for global business was the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and related quarantine restrictions. The negative macroeconomic and microeconomic consequences of the pandemic significantly worsened the financial and economic situation of enterprises, led to changes in consumer behavior. Businesses are forced to look for tools to stimulate economic development and increase competitiveness. The development of scientific and technological progress, digitalization make available the use of Internet technologies, in particular in the field of marketing. In Ukraine, as well as around the world, Internet marketing is becoming widespread. At the same time, the possibilities of such an innovation as social media marketing have not yet been properly implemented. Social networks have been created as a tool of entertainment; have become a powerful tool for marketing. They play an important role in establishing business relationships with customers. Social media in today's environment is more popular than traditional media. The use of SMM accelerates the sale of products and services, reduces marketing costs and better implementation of all marketing processes. Social networks allow you to quickly find people depending on interests, age and other parameters, create groups and inform potential consumers about various new products. Advertising on social networks is usually not as intrusive as on other resources and is targeted to a target audience, which is selected by a large number of parameters. To confirm the thesis that SMM is an important tool for the competitiveness of the enterprise in today's challenges, a study was conducted on the basis of the cheese brand - TM "Laguna" of the company "Food Production Ukraine". Analysis of the results of the study showed that "Laguna" in the eyes of consumers is associated with an inexpensive product of relatively low quality, with a "copy" of well-known global brands and loses to them in sophistication. . Given the limited use of offline marketing in quarantine, it was decided to develop a set of actions to influence the consumer through Internet resources. Improvements in SMM have ensured that people are sympathetic to the manufacturer and the product itself.

Need of new reading of sociological concepts of society of risk, network society, complex society and different scientific views on modern society in relation to process of an institutionalization of digital sociology as special sociological theory, subject matter and special methodology of knowledge of digital reality has been substantiated. Methodological approaches to use of the principles, the ideas and categories of various schools of sciences, groups of erudite and certain representatives of sociological science to development of the conceptual and categorial device, methodical potential and tools of digital sociology have been adduced. Special attention has been paid to the consideration of the concept of social network of the American sociologist Richard Mark Emerson in the context of digitalization. From positions of the concept of Richard Mark Emerson emergence of new dependences of users of Internet network on special category of subjects socially of interaction – moderators, administrators, owners of resources, the controlling public authorities and also manipulators of people’s attention has been explained; the specific motivation, which reveals itself in such phenomena as hypertrophied aspiration to the self-presentation (“selfie”, etc.); representation of the distorted virtual image for communications, hyperactivity in the appeal to various resources (“Internet surfing”) and also prevalence of motivators and estimated means – anonymous comments, “likes”, posts, reposts, symbolical encouragement and awards. Besides that, the behavior of Internet users has been considered in the context of the theory of the rational choice of the American sociologist James S. Coleman: at all risks of virtual interaction, the choice for integration of social communications into digital space, use of Internet resources for satisfaction of  personal and group needs brings more vital benefits for people, than folding of social activity in the Internet network.

<p>The Internet is growing every day as a source of knowledge and medium for exchange of information. Midwives are beginning to recognise its potential for networking and collaboration, as well as a research tool for accessing evidence-based information that can be utilised in practice. This thesis explores the use of the Internet by midwives in New Zealand. It describes a pilot study, which took the opportunity to trial the use of the Internet as a research tool. The pilot study also tested a survey designed to discover how midwives regard and utilise the potential of the Internet to revolutionise the provision of maternity care. The sample for this study was a convenience sample of 54 midwives working in New Zealand. The midwives were invited by personal email to access the web site and complete the questionnaire. The data were then transferred by electronic transmission into the research database, and analysed by SPSS computer software. The data generated were nominal and descriptive statistics were used. This pilot study has shown that there is a population of midwives in New Zealand who regularly use the Internet for searching information, which they utilise in their professional practice, and pass onto colleagues and midwifery clients. Respondents were recruited to the study by way of ‘snowballing.’ One hundred and ten emails were sent out inviting midwives to participate in the study. They were also asked to pass on the invitation email to as many colleagues as possible. 54 midwives completed and submitted the questionnaire.</p>
