*Special Issue: Social Media for Business and Society*



Social media describes the collection of web and mobile-based technologies
that mediate human and social communication via social network. It enables
individuals, groups and communities to gather, communicate and share
information, to collaborate or to play. Social media research has become
critical as the role of networks and other digital technologies become an
anchor for change in societies as well as business domain. By facilitating
access to user-generated contents, social media also has become a
democratic, personalized, and do-it-yourself platform of communications as
well as practical tools for business. Companies can sense crowd opinion on
products on social media and are devising innovative methods to attain
insights from user-generated contents for developing their competitive
strategy. Furthermore, citizens share opinions and participate in the
government policy development by using social media.

The fundamental objective of this special issue is to assimilate the best
practices and insights from academic and industry research to support the
effective use of social media and to understand how social media impacts
individual behavior and organizational/social performance. We expect to
identify the key features of social media, unveil psychological and
behavioral factors underlying the diffusion and growth of social media,
address economic and organizational/societal impacts of social media, and
explore different ways to manage user-generated data for effective
business/social analyses. The special issue also expects to demonstrate
innovative methods of handling data from digital and social media to
analyze business/social implications. Topics of interest include, but are
not limited to:

- Challenges and opportunities of social media
