The echo-effect of social media with a nod to Nestle' & GreenpeaceDr Mariann Hardey
This document discusses how social media has created an "echo effect" for marketing communications and PR in the digital age. It focuses on social network sites like Facebook and Twitter and how consumer content on these platforms can be "mashed up" and analyzed. A case study of Nestle's response to a Greenpeace report is presented, showing how consumer feedback on social media can both amplify brand messages and create public relations challenges that require an agile response. The implications discussed are that marketing must be prepared to respond appropriately to dynamic information flows and analytical challenges in various online contexts.
Advanced Methods in Network Science: Community Detection Algorithms Daniel Katz
The document discusses community detection in networks. It defines communities as densely connected groups of nodes that are sparsely connected to other dense groups. Examples of communities include friend groups in social networks and voting coalitions in legislative networks. The document illustrates community detection using examples of social networks and voting networks, and notes that community assignments depend on context. It also discusses factors like directedness, edge weights, and resolution that methods may or may not incorporate and can affect community detection.
The document provides an overview of a workshop on using social software like blogs and wikis in the classroom, including going over examples of blogs and wikis, hands-on creating of blogs and wikis, and reflecting on their educational benefits and challenges in implementing them.

What is social media? What Applications do small businesses need to use and much more from Jessica Hibbard
Frederick County Chamber of Commerce(frederickchamber.org) and Beth Schillaci Author of the Social Media Roadmap http://amzn.to/gXZkRJ
Social networks have revolutionized consumer behavior by allowing people to connect, share content, and influence each other online. Billions of people now spend significant time on social media sites like Facebook and YouTube each month. As social networks grow in popularity across demographics, brands must recognize their importance. Consumers now expect brands to have a social media presence where they can receive advice from peers, engage with the brand, and influence its products and services. Most major companies have acknowledged this shift and now actively use social networks like Twitter and Facebook.

Strengthening Civil Society Through Social Media: with notesDavid Wilcox
Presentation for 21st century network, February 28 2012. With notes
At times of financial restraint and when Governments are looking at how civil society can be recruited to deliver on their own agenda then how can we ensure that the many associations that make up civil society can protect their independence. Can social networking help create a network of mutual independence that strengthens the countless groups that are the social glue of our civil society?

Participatory Culture and Web 2.0 in Higher Educationac2182
This document summarizes a dissertation that studied how Web 2.0 technologies can support or inhibit participatory culture. The study involved designing a Web 2.0 system called PocketKnowledge and analyzing user interactions over two years. Initial findings showed the system design discouraged participation, but after redesigning to give users more control, a radical interaction network formed with novices acting as facilitators. However, over time the network became more expert-oriented and consumptive. The dissertation concludes technologies both enable and constrain participatory culture depending on social and cultural contexts.
Keynote Case Study: Bridging the Functional Gap with Social Media at Harvard Business School
Presented by: Brian Kenny, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, Harvard Business School
Silos are all too common in large complex organizations and Harvard Business School is no exception. So what can social media do to help knock down those artificial divides? How can tools that are designed to engage customers and provide external visibility improve internal communications and processes? As it turns out – employees are social too and social media has made it fun to connect across the functions. Brian will talk about how HBS has organized around social media platforms like Linked-in, Facebook and Twitter both to engage external audiences and to improve sales and customer service across the enterprise. Brian will also share Harvard Business School cases that demonstrate examples of how major organizations are integrating social throughout the enterprise.

Is Big Data the new Knowledge Management (KM)? John Girard
Keynote ICKSE 2018: In the past six years, there has been an eight-fold increase in Google searches for the term “Big Data.” Clearly, there is considerable interest in the term; however, is Big Data helping executives make better decisions? Does Big Data empower, liberate, or overwhelm decision makers? After briefly tracing the roots of this new domain, John shared case studies of Big Data in action through the lens of knowledge management. This thought-provoking and rather critical exploration was designed to encourage researchers to rethink if Big Data should be in their knowledge management research agenda.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Conclusion
14
Although
the
authors
believe
that
culture
influences
behaviours,
this
study
did
not
reveal
any
reasonable
rela%onships
between
culture
and
placement
along
the
Social
Technographics.
However,
it
is
possible
that
there
exists
problems
in
the
Hofstede
scales.
The
Hofstede
scales
have
been
highly
cri<cized
in
the
literature
(for
an
example
of
such
cri<cism,
see
McSweeny
(2002)
and
Sivakumar
&
Nakata
(2001)).
It
may
be
that
other
cross-‐
cultural
models
such
as
GLOBE,
Schwartz,
Triandis,
or
others
may
yield
different
results.
In
this
regard,
further
research
is
necessary.

more
