Can they tarnish a firm’s reputation? If so, how? Can theyenhance a firm’s reputation? If so, how?Just do response each posted #1 to 3 down below onlyPosted 1Whenit comes to social networks and employees, there are many regulationsand guidelines that most company’s place on their employees. This issometimes one of the most impactful to a companies reputation andsecurity, therefore is taken very seriously. Many companies do not allowphones on the production or sales floor. These policies are in place toensure that employees are being productive, as well as limiting what isreleased on social networks. You are at work, and you think you lookgood, so you snap a selfie and post it to your Instagram. In thebackground is a customer’s personal information, including credit cardnumber, name, and address. This wasn’t on your computer and was in theenvironment, so you didn’t notice it right off the bar. You just leakedconfidential information without meaning too, and if you have afollowing on Instagram or it goes viral, it could be detrimental to thecompany. Whenit comes to reputation, social networking sites can create a badreputation for a company. I have seen time and time again, employees inthe restaurant field attempting to make food blindfolded, throwing foodaround, and just horsing around. This sets a bad image on the owners,managers and reliable staff that customers will not want to consume foodat these establishments. We all go out to eat to relax and spend timewith family, friends or a loved one; we do not go out to wonder ifsomeone threw a steak against the wall to land on the grill for a funnyvideo.Socialnetworking sites, however, pose a lot of significant enhancements whenit comes to employee and customers. The connection that it makes toconsumers across the world about new products, services, and commitmentsof the business. Social networking sites assist with finding a job orsomeone to hire for a position. Internal social networking additionallygives the employees a sense of connection with one another and providesthe opportunity to check the status of a project or ask for additionalassistance (Rainer & Prince 2018). Additionally, social networkingsites like Twitter, have some of my favorite companies, like Wendy’s.When they decided to ‘roast’ other companies, followers, and ‘trolls'(people who do not like Wendy’s) on their platform, this came as a2-fold issue. Some did not enjoy it as much as others; however, itbrought attention and publicity to them. They got more interaction andset the path for additional businesses to follow suit. This however isnot something one would want from their financial institution. Socialnetworking is beneficial and utilized differently between all types ofbusinesses, and is prevalent in everyone’s life. All aspects of socialnetworking should be reviewed as a business owner, to enhance benefitsand minimize risks.Posted 2I strongly believe that firms should have restrictions and orguidelines that would prevent employees from being able to access socialsites. I believe that companies should have a preventive feature thatwould block such use. ‘An increasing number of companies have createdin-house, private social networks for their employees, businesspartners, and customers. (Rainer & Prince, 2018.p.257). It wouldn’ttake much for a security threat to occur if employees had access tothose social sites. If someone clicked or accessed a fraudulent site orsome sort of scam that would result in a very big threat, this candefinitely harm an organization. If word was to get out that anorganization was compromised, it could very well tarnish the reputationof that organization.In contrast, if social networking for a firm wasutilized in the form of advertising or marketing, then they couldimprove their status or reputation. Communities like having companiesthat engage and give back to the community. I believe that if anorganization was to engage the public by advertising on a social networkabout an upcoming event, the results of the turn out could indicate agood positive feedback from the participants. That positive feedback canmean that future events could result in a positive way for theorganization and thus improving their reputation.Posted 3Simpletypes of long range interpersonal communication have existed for over10 years, however the previous barely any years have seen a mind blowingincrement in the utilization of person to person communicationinstruments (now and then called ‘Web 2.0’). Time spent on informalcommunities currently surpasses time spent on email, flagging a social,business and innovation perspective change. Proceeded with advancementand development of long range interpersonal communicationadministrations and utilize appears to be inescapable. For organizations, the long range interpersonal communication wonder presents another arrangement of difficulties (Turban, 2018).Person to person communication may offer a large group of focal points,improving proficiency and spreading showcasing messages requiringlittle to no effort. In any case, interpersonal interaction likewisepresents huge dangers, and the exchange offs among efficiencies andhazard might be hard to gauge. More regrettable, in any event, whenorganizations attempt to boycott or manage interpersonal interaction,bright workers may discover approaches to sidestep the organization’sbearings. Organizationsmay end up subject to protests of badgering or segregation, asrepresentatives (counting chiefs and bosses) may post hostile languageor pictures on person to person communication locales that can be seenby collaborators and customers. System clients, besides, regularlyremark upon data or pictures on person to person communicationdestinations. Such remarks can incorporate direct (and very unwelcome)correspondence between colleagues about close to home long rangeinformal communication pages and data and pictures introduced there.Long range informal communication data therefore can become touchy proofin suit.
