A book edited by Dr. In Lee (Western Illinois University, USA)

For release in the Advances in E-Business Research (AEBR) Book Series http://bit.ly/XEt7sw

Introduction
Since the late 2000s, social media has paved new ways of accessing customers for businesses and conducting business activities. Social media represents a variety of dynamic and community-based Web applications that place value on the power of distributed knowledge and provide users with rich interactive experiences. New organizations taking advantage of social media are also being developed, creating successful new markets. For example, Blade.org is a collaborative community-based organization initiated by IBM around its blade server technology. Social commerce intermediaries such as Groupon and LivingSocial provide discount information on the products/services to consumers. Various merchant reputation sites such as Yelp and TripAdvisor create value to consumers based on user-generated content. With the widespread adoption of social media by customers, it became imperative for businesses to leverage social media technologies to stay competitive in the global economy.
