The Use of Digital and Social Media in the Speck Sector Master’s Degree Programme in International Management Final Thesis The use of digital and social media in the speck sector Supervisor Ch. Prof. Vladi Finotto Assistant supervisor Ch. Prof. Michele Tamma Graduand Giorgio De Stefani Matricolation number 877634 Academic Year 2020 / 2021 1 2 ABSTRACT The society we are living in is becoming increasingly related to social media and their impact on business activities is more and more relevant. The purpose of this thesis is to study and to understand the role of digital within the speck sector: in particular, to investigate the importance of social media and website use in this specific agri-food sector, the one of speck, in order to improve their performance. So, this study first describes what social media are and how they were born, then it deepens the main performance indicators to be used in order to measure the impact of social media on business activities. An overview about the made-in-Italy food industry comes next, expanding more and more on the speck sector, with a focus on the Trentino Alto Adige region. At the end, thanks to a qualitative and a quantitative analysis, it tries to understand social media strategies of the concerned speck companies and their related impact on business, by identifying strengths and weaknesses. 3 4 Index Introduction .......................................................................................................................................... 7 1.

  • Digital Platform As a Double-Edged Sword: How to Interpret Cultural Flows in the Platform Era
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 3880–3898 1932–8036/20170005 Digital Platform as a Double-Edged Sword: How to Interpret Cultural Flows in the Platform Era DAL YONG JIN Simon Fraser University, Canada This article critically examines the main characteristics of cultural flows in the era of digital platforms. By focusing on the increasing role of digital platforms during the Korean Wave (referring to the rapid growth of local popular culture and its global penetration starting in the late 1990s), it first analyzes whether digital platforms as new outlets for popular culture have changed traditional notions of cultural flows—the forms of the export and import of popular culture mainly from Western countries to non-Western countries. Second, it maps out whether platform-driven cultural flows have resolved existing global imbalances in cultural flows. Third, it analyzes whether digital platforms themselves have intensified disparities between Western and non- Western countries. In other words, it interprets whether digital platforms have deepened asymmetrical power relations between a few Western countries (in particular, the United States) and non-Western countries. Keywords: digital platforms, cultural flows, globalization, social media, asymmetrical power relations Cultural flows have been some of the most significant issues in globalization and media studies since the early 20th century. From television programs to films, and from popular music to video games, cultural flows as a form of the export and import of cultural materials have been increasing. Global fans of popular culture used to enjoy films, television programs, and music by either purchasing DVDs and CDs or watching them on traditional media, including television and on the big screen.

  • {PDF} the Facebook Effect: the Real Inside Story of Mark Zuckerberg
    THE FACEBOOK EFFECT: THE REAL INSIDE STORY OF MARK ZUCKERBERG AND THE WORLDS FASTEST GROWING COMPANY PDF, EPUB, EBOOK David Kirkpatrick | 384 pages | 01 Feb 2011 | Ebury Publishing | 9780753522752 | English | London, United Kingdom The Facebook Effect: The Real Inside Story of Mark Zuckerberg and the Worlds Fastest Growing Company PDF Book The cover of the plus-page hardcover tome is the silhouette of a face made of mirror-like, reflective paper. Not bad for a Harvard dropout who later became a visionary and technologist of this digital era. Using the kind of computer code otherwise used to rank chess players perhaps it could also have been used for fencers , he invited users to compare two different faces of the same sex and say which one was hotter. View all 12 comments. There was a lot of time for bull sessions, which tended to center on what kind of software should happen next on the Internet. He searched around online and found a hosting company called Manage. Even for those not so keen on geekery and computers, the political wrangling of the company supplies plenty of drama. As Facebook spreads around the globe, it creates surprising effects—even becoming instrumental in political protests from Colombia to Iran. But there are kinks in the storytelling. In little more than half a decade, Facebook has gone from a dorm-room novelty to a company with million users. Sheryl Sandberg, COO: Sandberg is an elegant, slightly hyper, light-spirited forty- year-old with a round face whose bobbed black hair reaches just past her shoulders.

  • Social Media Platforms and Democratic Discourse
    LCB_23_4_Art_6_Weaver (Do Not Delete) 2/7/2020 2:22 PM SYMPOSIUM SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AND DEMOCRATIC DISCOURSE by Russell L. Weaver* This Essay explores how social media platforms have been catalysts for social and political change but have created numerous societal problems. The Essay traces the development of speech technologies and shows how these platforms have influenced the world. These changes are evident in the events of the Arab Spring in the Middle East and even in U.S. political elections (including those of President Obama and President Trump). At the same time, the internet and social media present immense challenges to the democratic process. They have enabled individuals to infect the public debate with so-called “fake news,” and have enabled foreign individuals and foreign governments to in- terfere in the U.S. election. In addition, as social media companies endeavor to exercise greater control over the public debate, there is a risk that they will censor or unduly restrict social and political discourse.

[…] We use the word culture in these two senses: to mean a whole way of life – the common meanings; to mean the arts and learning – the special processes of discovery and creative effort.” Raymond Williams, 1958 A dissertation is ordinary, too. Writing a dissertation is possible only because of the great number of people, who make up our lives. That is why I first thank my partner Hannah. Her willingness to live with me in a foreign country, to never doubt the reasoning behind my plans, her strength and her courage to engage even the most challenging situations, has been a daily inspiration. During the last four years I could always count on my parents's unquestioned support for this project, their patience and worldly wisdom. I own my confidence to them. My gratitude goes to both Hannah's and my family for their love and support, especially once our wonderful daughter Johanna Karlotta made focussing on academic work just a little bit more challenging. Finally, I would like to thank our friends in Minnesota for making our lives abroad enlightening, fun, and enjoyable.

    October 2020 ACTIVATE TECHNOLOGY & MEDIA OUTLOOK 2021 www.activate.com 12 Takeaways from the Activate Technology & Media Outlook 2021 Time and Attention: The entire growth curve for consumer time spent with technology and media has shifted upwards and will be sustained at a higher level than ever before, opening up new opportunities. Video Games: Gaming is the new technology paradigm as most digital activities (e.g. search, social, shopping, live events) will increasingly take place inside of gaming. All of the major technology platforms will expand their presence in the gaming stack, leading to a new wave of mergers and technology investments. AR/VR: Augmented reality and virtual reality are on the verge of widespread adoption as headset sales take off and use cases expand beyond gaming into other consumer digital activities and enterprise functionality. Video: By 2024, nearly all American households will have a Connected TV. The average paid video streaming subscriber will own 5.7 subscriptions, while also watching other services for free (e.g. sharing passwords, using advertising-supported services, viewing social video). eCommerce: The growth curve of eCommerce has accelerated by 5 years in 5 months. Consumers will expand their digital shopping destinations beyond the retailers that they bought from before shelter-in-place. Marketplace platforms and the shift to online grocery buying will level the eCommerce playing field for large traditional retailers and brands. Esports: During shelter-in-place, esports were sports for many consumers; going forward, esports will be a major global catalyst for interest in interactive gaming, technology, and entertainment experiences. www.activate.com Continued ➔ 2 12 Takeaways from the Activate Technology & Media Outlook 2021 Sports Tech and Sports: New technologies will reshape every aspect of sports, including data, athlete performance, and viewing experiences.
