Assignment: Review Knowledge Management And Social Media Research
For this assignment, you will select a theory in knowledge management and apply this theory to social media. You should also identify a gap in this application or theory and further explore it. Examine how KM theories have been applied to social media research. You do not need to construct any datasets or carry out any data analyses.
Your submission should include the following components:
1. Literature Review: You will conduct a literature review of at least five recently published papers/journals in the area of knowledge management and social media. These may not be any of the provided course readings. You are expected to review the findings of these works, along with providing a critical analysis of the examined works. Each literature review should be at least 300 words. This component will ensure that you have an adequate background in the area you are about to further explore.
2. Brief Research Proposal: After conducting your literature review, you should select a theory or practice in knowledge management and propose how this may be applied to social media analytics. You should focus on finding a gap in an existing theory, and then propose a possible solution to this gap. You are not expected to conduct this research, only make an argument for it and provide an adequate blueprint/proposal for this work. Your proposal should be at least 1,000 words and leave the reader confident in the value and feasibility of your proposal.
