Recenzje

"Heidi McKee and James Porter theorize the use of social media tools in business settings using a fresh, practitioner-oriented research approach that will appeal to business communication scholars, teachers, students and business practitioners alike. With the growing use of social media among both businesses as well as the general public to facilitate communication, this book provides a toolkit by which educators and practitioners can think about how to use those digital tools ethically and productively." -Dirk Remley, Kent State University
