Mktg 4226: Course Outline- Social Media for Marketing & Management Course: MKTG 4226R Semester: Winter 2014 Title: Social Media for Marketing & Management Instructor Aleem Visram Wednesdays 2:30-5:30pm, W133

Office: N304J Email: avisram@schulich.yorku.ca Office Hours: By appointment Course support: Maria Rizzuto (mrizzuto@schulich.yorku.ca) Brief Description Social media (i.e, Facebook, Twitter, blogs, wikis) are changing society, marketing, and management. Beginning with an examination of the role of social media, this course expands into methods for researching and understanding it. We learn throughout about its strategic business applications. The course concludes with a focused team project that examines the reality and utility of this new communication form.

Prerequisite: SB/MKTG 2030 3.00

Course Objectives This course is designed to introduce you to the cultural terrain of social media, offer you an opportunity to explore its use as a method for marketing and organizational research, consumer-generated innovation and design, and marketing and organization communication, to enable and equip you to converse intelligently and in a disciplined manner about the principal roles of social media in business, and to help you develop an initial understanding of the principal strategic and tactical challenges involved in applications of social media marketing. By the end of this course, you should be able to: 1. Understand what social media is, identify its key characteristics and different types, and understand its relationship to other relevant terms such as Internet marketing, Web 2.0, and word-of-mouth marketing. 2. Demonstrate knowledge about the underlying characteristics of social media, including its historical basis and the reasons why people use it. 3. Get familiar with research techniques and methods that can be applied to social media. This includes understanding how each method works and what types of business and market research questions it can answer. 4. Apply the general rules and guidelines for using social media in marketing and organizational communications, observing the underlying principles guiding their use. 5. Distinguish between marketing problems to which social media are suited for from those to which social media are not appropriate. 6. Evaluate social media communications campaigns in terms of their quality and success.

7. Plan and implement a social media campaign to solve a marketing problem. Organization of the Course This course is organized in four phases: (1) First we explore the role of social media in the life of the marketer and business manager. Because a detailed understanding of the nature of social media is crucial, we begin with a theory and research-based socio-cultural understanding of the foundations of the social movement online. (2) The second phase of the course explores the social web as an opportunity for consumer insight, understanding, and marketing research. In an applied setting and assignment, you will learn the technique of netnography and other related research methods applicable to business and consumer research. (3) In the third phase, through an analysis of business models and companies whose success is based upon these insights, you will proceed to understand how marketing and business management practices transform based upon a careful incorporation of data obtained in social media. (4) The fourth and final phase of the course looks at the opportunities and challenges that social media and online word-of-mouth present for the marketers and business managers of today and tomorrow. Specific topics include: The origins of social media and the online community movement Terminology issues: distinguishing the different types of social media and social media marketing campaigns Similarities and differences between new and traditional media, and between organic and amplified word-of-mouth Cultural and social bases of online community, culture, and tribes Marketing and organization research methods, including online observation, social network analysis, and netnography Building social media communications into marketing strategy and tactics Social Media Metrics: how to measure and track online and offline word-of-mouth and influence Ethical aspects and codes of the industry

The course is realistic, applied, intense, and demanding. By studying these developing, expanding cutting-edge techniques in detail, you can expect to gain valuable knowledge and expertise that is on high demand in the marketplace. As with all classes, attendance and participation is expected. You participation grade will be 10% in class and 5% online on the facebook discussion group. We will use a reading package and online materials to conduct a real-time learning experience that blends theory and practice with talk and action, as well as school and business. The course will also feature guest speakers working in this rapidly growing industry. The course content is designed to be maximally practical, and to help people pursuing careers in marketing management, brand management, product management, human resources/organizational communications, IT businesses, public relations, advertising, content production, digital marketing, product and service consulting, as well as those undertaking or involved in entrepreneurial ventures or SMEs involving social media, advertising, or public relations.

1) Class Participation and Contribution Two-thirds of your Class Participation and Contribution Grade will be based on your attendance, contributions to in-class debates and discussions, and awareness of issues in required readings (10% of your total mark). The remaining one-third of your class participation and contribution (5% of your total mark) will be based on the quality of your Facebook online discussion postings and discussion comments.

Your participation grade will be assigned based on these factors. If you expect to be late or miss a class, please contact me in advance. You will lose marks for participation if you do not have a valid excuse. 2) Individual Class Leadership The Individual Class Leadership assignment is an opportunity for you to read and study one aspect of social media in detail. For this assignment, you will be responsible for analyzing the topic you chose in the first class. You will also take a leadership position and lead the class through the discussion of that particular topic, incorporating the course readings. Here is how it works: 1) You will work individually on your topic, but you will be required to coordinate efforts with other students who have the same topic. 2) On the day of the class, each student leading that class will briefly introduce and explain his/her topic and related readings. Each presentation will last a maximum of 5 minutes per person. Those leading the same topic (if there are 2 people signed up for the same topic), will need to work together to ensure that their in-class presentation does not overlap. They must also work together to present the topic with different examples (maximum 10 minutes total for both presenters). You are expected to engage the whole class, so make your presentation appealing and interesting to your colleagues! 3) Your brief presentation must be shared in the social media format of your choice. It can take the form of a blog posting, a YouTube video (edited), a SlideShare slideshow, a series of Tweets,a powerpoint or Prezi presentation or a combinations of these. Whatever the format(s), the results must be posted to the course Facebook page so that they are accessible to all members of the class. Comments on the posting will be viewed and assessed by the professor.

4) Finally, a 2 page hardcopy individual summary of your research on the topic is due on the day of your presentation. Please include complete references as these will be shared with the class. Late assignments will not be accepted. Your class presentation and written assignment (700 words or less) will answer the following: 1. What is the definition of your topic or subject? 2. What are some examples of a product or service that executes your topic WELL? Why do you think it is GOOD? 3. What are some examples of a product or service that executes your topic POORLY? Why do you think it is BAD? 4. Provide some guidelines of what companies should do (or not do) with respect to your topic USING RESEARCH SUPPORT. 5. Provide a summary of your recommendations and conclusions (based on your analysis and outside research). 3) Individual Case Analyses There are 4 case assignments in this class, and you will be responsible for reading and analyzing all of them, as they will be discussed in-class. Initial guidelines and instruction will be provided on the basics of marketing case analysis so that you can gain confidence and experience with this important aspect of your management education. You can choose two among these four cases to write up and submit. This is an individual assignmentno collaboration is permitted. Your case assignment write-up has a limit of 700 words, or 2 pages (1.5 spacing, 12 point font, 1 inch margins in all sides) and is your answer to a directed question. Write-ups are due before class via turnitin.com box. Late assignments will not be graded. Your case assignment write-ups are worth 25% of your total final grade and will be assessed based on your analysis and recommendations. 4) Social Media Marketing Project In a 4-5 person team (exceptions need to be discussed with me), you will engage in a detailed social media marketing project. Your project will be directed at developing and presenting a social media marketing program outlined in the first class. Assume a budget of $15,000 CDN. Part 1: The team will analyze the brand strategy, 3Cs (consumer, competition and corporate capabilities) and 4ps (product, place, price, promotion). The team will use netnography and/or other online research techniques to investigate, report upon, and analyze the online environment. This research may include the companys and competitors existing online initiatives. It will definitely include data collection related to the online community activity related to the business or organization and the campaign. In the Team Project Progress Report (due April 9, 2014), you will offer your initial research findings and analysis. Your report should follow this flow and answer the following questions: A. Describe the research 1. What sites did you examine to do your research? 2. What kind of data did you find? 3. What did that data tell you about the campaign? Part 2: For the projects next stage, the team will build upon research findings in the first stage as you plan an actual social media marketing program. After an initial review meeting with the professor in Week 10 (optional, but highly recommended),

you will work your strategy into a coherent and integrated social media marketing plan, complete with budget and media spend projections. Part 3: You will outline how you will measure the effectiveness of the SSM plan and include a short term and long term plan for the campaign and complete Part 4: The team will make a full report to the class in a 20 minute presentation, followed by a brief Q&A/comment session. You will present your completed new Social Media Marketing Plan in class on either March 26 (Group 1-4) or April 2 (Group 5-8) in a 20-minute PowerPoint (or other, such as Prezi) presentation. This presentation will be graded by both your peers and by the Professor and will count for 15% of your final course grade. The presentationconsisting of the PowerPoint deck accompanied by your report with 1-page executive summaryis your complete project deliverable. It is due via softcopy through turnitin.com. The slides from your presentation are due on the date of your presentation. Strict time keeping will be in effect. Depending on the number of groups each group will have 20 minutes to present, with another 10 minutes for questions and class feedback (based on available time). If you wish to use PowerPoint slides, you are responsible for bringing in your own USB key or laptop and quickly and efficiently setting it up at the predetermined time. It is always best to practice your presentation to get the timing right. You do not want to run out of time during your class presentation. Try to limit your presentation to one or two presenters. A sample 20-minute presentation should: Briefly overview the brands competitive assessment (3Cs and 4Ps vs. the competition) (2-3 minutes; 1-2 slides) Describe the research method and highlight the results of your social media research study (3-4 minutes; 1-3 slides) Then, provide details and rationale for your new marketing strategy focusing on the desired target segment and your positioning strategy (3 minutes; 2-3 slides) Then, run in detail through your new social media marketing plan encompassing your new, follow-up campaign, providing interesting details as you go (5-7 minutes; 4-7 slides) Finish by summarizing your key takeaways from the project (your teams learning experience) (1-2 minutes; 1-2 slides)

The Final Project written deliverable will consist of 10 pages double-spaced, exclusive of cover, content list, executive summary and appendices. Use Times New Roman size 12, space 1.5 lines spacing, and 1 inch margins on all sides. Ensure that your financial appendices reflect and are integrated with your detailed written descriptions of social media (and other supporting) marketing tactics and their budgets. Please limit appendices to maximum 10 pages. The report will count for 15% of your final grade. Mutual integration of your market research analysis, strategy, and tactics will be a key differentiator between strong and not-asstrong projects. The written report is due on April 9, 2014 via turnitin.com, no hardcopy please. Your projects will be returned via turnitin.com. File sizes are limited to 5 Megs. You may, of course, wish to accompany your presentation with online, hyperlinked, social media-integrated material. These initiatives and creativity will be rewarded. Recommended Template for Final Report: You are free to write your project in a creative format, and one that interests you. However, the conveyance of certain basic learnings must be covered. The following descriptions are intended as guidelines, and have been found useful by past students of this course.

Grading Grades in this class will follow the usual distribution for BBA/iBBA electives. I will use percentage grades for all assignments (including class participation) and will translate percentages into specific letter grades by the end of the term, considering the class distribution. Please note that this is in accordance to Schulich grading policy as described in the BBA/iBBA Academic Handbook: A+ A B+ B 9 grade points 8 7 6 C+ C D+ D F 5 4 3 2 0

The letter grades that can be awarded are A+ through D (passing grades) and F. There are no minus grades in Yorks undergraduate grading scheme. In addition, Schulich does not use the E grade [marginally failing] that is used in other York degree programs, Students must maintain a cumulative GPA across all courses taken of at least 5.0 to remain in good standing and continue in the program, and to qualify for their degree. Schulich grading guidelines mandate a section GPA of between 5.5 and 7.0. If an instructor elects to use numerical or percentage grades when grading term work or examinations, Schulich grading policy does not require a preset translation of percentages into specific letter grades. Academic Honesty Academic honesty is fundamental to the integrity of university education and degree programs. The Schulich School will investigate and will act to enforce academic honesty policies where apparent violations occur. Students should familiarize themselves with York Universitys policy on academic honesty. It is printed in full in your student handbook and can also viewed on-line on the Schulich website, clicking through as indicated:
Schulich website Programs Bachelors Degree BBA Student Resources Academic Honesty Policy

While academic dishonesty can take many forms, there are several forms of which students should be highly aware because they are the ones that are most likely to occur in the context of a specific course. [1] Plagiarism. Plagiarism is the presentation of information, ideas, or analysis generated by other people as being your own. It includes direct quotations as well a substantive paraphrases where the course of that information or idea is not clearly identified to the reader. Students should be careful to present their written work in a way that makes it completely clear in each and every cases where a quotation, a paraphrase, or an analysis is based on the work of other people. (This includes information from all sources, including websites.) [2] Cheating. Cheating is an attempt to gain an unfair advantage in an evaluation. Examples of such violations include (but are not limited to) consulting prohibited materials during an examination or copying from another student. [3] Failure to follow limitations on collaborative work with other students in preparing academic assignments. Each class differs in the mix of assignments and group-versus-individual preparation that is allowed. The instructor will make clear the extent of collaboration among students that is acceptable among students on various pieces of assigned work. Students should abide by those limitations and, if they are unsure about whether a certain level or form of collaboration would be acceptable, to clarify that question with the instructor in advance.

13

[4] Aiding and abetting. A student is guilty of violating academic honesty expectations if he/she acts in a way that enables another student to engage in academic dishonesty. If a student knows (or should reasonably expect) that an action would enable another student to cheat or plagiarize, that students action constitutes an academic honesty violation. Illustrative examples include making your exam paper easily visible to others in the same exam or providing your own working or finished documents for an individual assignment to another student (even if that other student said that he/she just wanted to get an idea of how to approach the assignment or to check whether they had done theirs correctly). [5] Use of academic work in more than one course. Generally, academic work done for every course is new work, done for that course only. If a student wishes to use some or all of the academic work done for an assigned task in one course in another course, the student must get explicit, prior permission from both instructors so that they agree that the scope and nature of the overlapping use of that work is such that it can fairly be counted toward both courses.
