Timetable: Wednesdays 17:30-19,30, Facultad de Ciencias Empresariales, La Merced

Description

Social media are becoming ever more popular, and recent studies demonstrate their importance as platforms capable of contributing to the increased corporate transparency of international companies, which is now accepted to be one of the key factors for future economic stability. So, a general understanding of the main functionalities of social media and how they can be used from the point of view of an international company has become a necessity not only for students of business and law but other disciplines too. The module is divided into two interconnected sections which include social media functionalities and social media strategies for marketing and corporate dialogue, and the use of the most relevant Internet standards to support data and interactions between users, both internal and external to a company or organization.

• The main objective is to enable students to explore two main mechanisms by which international companies and organizations can improve current levels of corporate transparency and interaction. These are:

• The latest Internet platforms. Firstly, improved corporate websites, whose quality is analyzed in a structured way; and secondly, social media, which are popular emerging platforms in which global conversations are now taking place. These two media forms are increasingly referred to as Web 1.0 and Web 2.0, respectively.

• The most robust and best-developed standards for expressing structured information (text as well as figures) digitally: firstly, XBRL, or eXtensible Business Reporting Language, and secondly, OWL, or Web Ontology Language. These in turn are known as Web 3.0 or the semantic Web.

Aims

• To give students the basic skills to select and utilise one or more social media platforms, according to the needs of an organization;

• To illustrate how the main social media platforms are currently used by leading companies;

• To enhance students’ self learning abilities and group cooperation and competition skills;

• To improve additional social and communication skills particular to the business world.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the module students should be able to:

• To demonstrate a profound knowledge of the functionalities of the social media

• To use international information sources such as the webpages of the main Internet consortia

• To use a structured analysis procedure and advanced metrics to evaluate the social media performance

• To understand the meaning of the main Internet markup languages and how to use them to express information

• To clearly communicate their conclusions to third parties

The timetable is established by the firm. For example, the timetable can be in the morning (from 9 am to 2 pm), in the afternoon (from 4 pm to 9 pm) or spread out during the working day. It is intended to match the preferences of students and firms.

During the course of the placement the student should follow the timetable which is established by the firm. However, the student can reach an agreement with the firm to arrange leave in order to attend an exam and recover those hours when the firm and the student decide.

• To write a report

This report must be handed in by the student at the end of the placement. The report must be written in Spanish or English and must contain the following points:

o Personal information about the student such as personal details, the period of time spent on placement, etc.

o Data about the firm or organisation in which the placement has been done (activities, structure, organisation, etc.).

o Detailed description of the activities done by the student.

o Personal and critical opinion of the firm by the student (strengths, weaknesses, in relation to the subjects studied on their degree, degree of satisfaction, application of knowledge acquired at university and gaps in training detected, etc.).

o Conclusions.

The three possible periods of placement are as follows:

1. In the 1st semester (from October 10th to January 31st).

2. In the 2nd semester (from February 22nd to May 31st)

3. In the summer (from July 1st to September 30th and it has to be finished by September 30th at the latest).

Before each period of placement, there will be a meeting with students who are interested in doing a placement in order to know their preferences about the town in which the firm is located, duration of the placement, etc., and to explain the development of the placement.

While placements are in process, students should attend tutorials with his/her supervisor at university so that they can receive advice about the activities carried out in the firms such as the development of the report which must be handed in by the student at the end of the placement.

While the placement is being carried out, the student will have two supervisors at the faculty (Ramón Jiménez Toribio/Elena Carvajal Trujillo) and one supervisor at the firm.

The possibility of doing a placement always depends on the acceptance of the student by the firm.

Assessment

• To carry out completely and correctly 150 or 300 effective placement hours.

• To hand in a descriptive report of the placement done.

• To be evaluated by the supervisor in the firm.

In the assessment of students, the supervisor at university will consider the following points:

1. The evaluation questionnaire filled in by the supervisor in the firm.

2. The monitoring which has been done on the visits and in tutorials.

3. The report which students have to hand in once they have finished the placement.
