Forschungsarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich BWL - Personal und Organisation, University of Sheffield, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Over the last few years, social media tools - including blogs, wikis, social networks, video sharing, and community sites, among others - have changed the landscape of the Internet, becoming key tools for network building, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.

The combination of these impacts results in increased overall operational efficiency. This literature review seeks to evaluate the various impacts that social media has had on the recruitment processes, innovation
