Social Media Ethics Made Easy [Paperback]

It also addresses the impact on every single social/digital media participant and why they must learn about these guidelines so they can protect their own personal brand.

The goal is to inform management practice and help current and future business leaders navigate through the ethical laws and compliance issues affecting social, digital and mobile media.
