Each group will identify a company of interest that engages in corporate social networking

Each group will identify a company of interest that engages in corporate social networking. Students are encouraged to select companies with social networking sites that they have personally used in the past. The company may be public or private, for-profit or non-profit, and provide goods or services.

Once a company has been identified, collaborate within your team Discussion area here and work together to answer each of the following questions in the Discussion area of Unit 9 in one (1) collective answer post for each of the three different days beginning with Saturday. Depending on however many students are on your team, you might want to assign each member one of the following questions and have a sixth person post the collective team response. Do not forget to post to the Unit 9 Discussion using your team letter.
