Social media has become an important tool for businesses. It can be integrated into the communication strategies of organizations and can play a fundamental role in building brand awareness, communicating with customers, leading to the diffusion of innovation and the management of open innovation.
The mini-track will examine the nature of social media innovation and strategies that contribute to achieving company innovation goals.
