Task:
The purpose of Assessment 3 is to understand the concept of ‘analysis’ and how to learn to analyse information efficiently and effectively.
According to Rosenwaser and Stephen (2009, p. 4), analysis is:
More than just a set of skills, analysis is a frame of mind, an attitude toward experience. It is a form of detective work that typically pursues something puzzling, something you are seeking to understand rather than something you are already sure you have the answers to. Analysis finds questions where there seemed not to be any, and it makes connections that might not have been evident at first.
Assessment Task
Companies around the globe are embracing and adapting social media for many different reasons, including: customer service, marketing, internal communications, public relations, and corporate social responsibility. It is now a reality that social media is changing the way stakeholders and companies communicate daily, providing opportunities for collaboration, participation, interactivity, and engagement.
Your task is to analyse a business case study that chronicles the management of a social media strategy by First National Bank (FNB), one of South Africa’s ‘Big Four’ banks.
A business case study ‘is a description of an actual situation, commonly involving a decision, a challenge, an opportunity, a problem or an issue faced by a person (or persons) in an organization’ (Erskine, J.A. and Leenders, M.R., Learning with Cases, © 1997, Richard Ivey School of Business). Cases contain relevant data about the issue available to the key person in the case, plus background information about the organisation.
Please follow these guidelines to complete the assessment:
1. Carefully read the Ivey Business School case: ‘Banking on Social Media’. Note: you will need to go onto the Ivey Business School website https://www.iveycases.com/
