All types and sizes of organizations are jumping to make sure they have a social
media presence, but how should they be using these dynamic outlets?
In this edition of Smith Business Close-Up with the University of Maryland’s
Robert H. Smith School of Business, Wendy Moe, associate professor of marketing,
discusses how organizations can use interactions that happen with their brand on
social networks.
Dr. Moe’s research interests lie in modeling online consumer shopping behavior
and early sales forecasting. Her current research focuses on technology enabled
measures of early product success and examines online product reviews and search
engine activity as predictors of future sales. Moe is organizing an Oct. 1,
Social
Media Forum conference at the Smith School that will have business
practitioners discussing social media strategy.
Smith Business Close-Up is co-produced by the Robert H. Smith School of
Business and Maryland Public Television. The television segment focuses on the latest thinking in business management,
and features in-depth interviews with Smith School faculty and other members of
the school’s community of business leaders.
