<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: windowtext; font-size: 10pt;">Social media are online platforms that facilitate </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">global collaboration and sharing among users.
New social media applications in e-business and e-commerce appear everyday and results in enormous shocks to the ecosystem of individuals and businesses. </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Consumers can easily
obtain information from a vast, geographically dispersed group of people in social platforms. Meanwhile, these social platforms give retailers a wealth of options for reaching potential customers, communication and collaboration, and creating values to customers. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: windowtext; font-size: 10pt;">Furthermore,
social media are increasingly being used in organizations to improve relationships among employees and nurture collaboration and the sharing culture.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
