I opted to complete a reading reflection on the book called "The Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users" by Guy Kawasaki. The general theme or argument of the book revolved around social media, and how entrepreneurs can utilize social media to improve their personal lives and business careers. In my opinion, the book connected with and enhanced what I was learning in ENT 3003 in various ways. Social media is incredibly prevalent in our society, and businessmen must use social media as a platform for their business and concepts. The book was incredibly informative and provided some valuable tips on how to succeed in the business environment. If I had to design an exercise, based on the book I read, that exercise would involve students creating a social media account to support their business ideas/concepts. Their social media accounts, whether on Instagram or FaceBook, would serve to promote their personal businesses to a larger audience of potential customers. My biggest surprise or "aha" moment when reading the book was when the book discussed just how crucial social media is in the world of business. Ultimately, a plethora of businesses are highly dependent on social media in order to further promote their products and increase their customer base by a large percentage. In fact, there are a myriad of companies that rely heavily on social media in order to continue to thrive and survive from a financial standpoint.
Hey Samuel,
ReplyDeleteGreat job with this post!
I think social media and how it relates to business is very interesting and I like how you incorporated aspects of social media into your post. My favorite part of your post is your description of your proposed exercise. As important as social media is, I think its crazy that we do not have that assignment in this class so we can gain experience. Overall, great job.
