• Facilitates faster information flow through online media
• Popular and dominant means of communication for its simplicity and its ability to connect wide networks of people

control • Information is publicized w/o boundaries• Information quality from an online forum may
not be reliable
II. Literature Review/ SWOT Analysis

negative news about a company gets circulated fast

V. Lessons Learned
• Companies who use and advocate Enterprise 2.0 are usually companies who rely on the collaboration between its employees, suppliers and customers for its day-to-day activities. Enterprise 2.0 is recommended for companies such as these.
• As seen in the experience of other companies however, the extensive use of IT can also be a hindrance in meeting the objectives of a company. There are risks involved with regards to privacy and security if Enterprise 2.0 is implemented.
• There's a massive disconnect between Enterprise 2.0 technologies and traditional enterprise applications and infrastructures. Both Enterprise 1.0 and 2.0 has its own advantages and disadvantages, but when adopted together by companies, each system can offset each other’s limitations. Refer to Figure 2 of Diagrams for comparison of both Enterprise 1.0 and 2.0.
• SNS is beneficial to the company but precautionary measures must be in place in case the system fails. SNS is prone to downtimes, failures and attacks.
V. Lessons Learned
• The choice of SNS site to use is crucial for a company that wants to enhance its competitive advantage. Issues of SNS sites may affect the company positively or negatively.
• Due to security risks associated with the use of SNS (social network service) and the internet, strict filters and internal controls must be in place, which also means further costs for the company
