Both commercial and non-commercial organisations are increasingly driven toward integrated electronic interactions throughout the value chain. As a result, the role of ICT – and in particular Social Media – in business needs to be re-evaluated to develop a sophisticated understanding of how digital business and social media may help today’s firm to obtain and sustain competitive advantage in the global marketplace.
