Assessing the effectiveness of social media entrepreneurship in our contemporary business society.
Content sharing, web communities, and Internet forums are examples of social media services (Sanastokeskus, 2010). Social media, according to Kaplan and Heinlein (2010), enhances the development and exchange of content information. As a result, rather than being passive, users participate actively in the development and exchange of knowledge (Sweeter and Laricsy, 2008). Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites are examples of different sorts of social media.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The social media platform allows for interactive contact and information exchanges, and it has had a significant impact on social groups and society as a whole. Given the high volume of users on the site, it has become a simple means of disseminating information to the general public. However, it is important to highlight that social media has a negative impact on the image and brand of a product or service, as well as on a company, an individual, or a group of individuals.
This is because social media information is uncontrolled and can be prejudiced and presumptuous at times. In addition, the number of bloggers is unmanaged and unregulated, providing a significant risk of incorrect information being spread. The research’s problem is to come up with a solution.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
To find out how effective social media entrepreneurship is in today’s economic world.”
