of this

study was

to explore

whether

college

illustration

• analyse articles in journals related to social media and subsequently to categorise them based on themes

• six main keywords were identified: Social Media, Social Network, Social Networking Sites, Web 2.0, Facebook and Twitter.

• In addition, in order to get a greater analysis of relevant articles, several combinations of the keywords (with the help of Boolean operands) were also used. Twenty combinations were used to search for the articles.

• 295 articles were choose and downloaded

Origin of study

Taxonomy is a form of classification

• Taxonomies play an important role in research and management because the classification of objects helps researchers and practitioners understand and analyze complex domains.

• taxonomies provide a structure and an organization to the knowledge of a field, thus enabling researchers to study the relationships among concepts and, therefore, to hypothesize about these relationships.

Reference Method Key result

Chung and Jo (1996) Archival, I/B/E/S, 1984-1987. Analyst following has a positive

impact on firm value, and

analysts tend to follow stocks

of high quality firms.

Block (1999) Questionnaire survey of

members of AIMR.

46% of respondents said that

present value analysis is not part

of their normal procedures.

Analysts considered earnings and

cash flow to be far more

important than dividends and

book value in security valuation.

However, analysts rely more

heavily on earnings multiples

versus DCF in valuation, and

growth potential and earnings

quality are the crucial factors in

evaluating P/E ratios.

“the sum of the resouces, acutal or virtual,

that accrue to an individual or a gorup by

cirtue of possessing a durable network of

more or less institutionalized relationships of

mutual acquaintance in recognition.”

Shailendra C Jain Palvia; Rudy Pancaro

(2010)

“Social capital broadly refers to the resouces

accumilated through the relationships among

people.”
