Description of how social media is used for business performance:
Dell are seen as pioneers in the use of social media. The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth University have developed a case study that describes Dell’s social media activities in significant detail. It is especially useful on customer engagement and describes the company’s activity in the blog arena. The case also covers the use of social media in areas beyond customer engagement.
Lessons for others:
