discussion post - Social Media Detective and Evaluate a Team for Success

 NEED TO ANSWER ALL TWO DISCUSSION QUESTIONS...also specify which answer goes to which discussion question  

question 1

One of the important benefits of social media such as Facebook and Twitter is that they allow marketers to easily learn what consumers are saying about their brand - and about the competition. To better understand that process, you can go out to Twitter and conduct a little detective work to see what consumers are saying about a brand.

• This week for your discussion, select a product type and particular brand of that product to study - it can be in any product category you choose.
• Go to Twitter.com. Search for your selected brand and see what is revealed. After you have reviewed the results, provide a summary of the following information:
  • The number of tweets that are positive
  • The major aspects of the brand that people think are positive
  • The number of tweets that are negative
  • The major aspects of your brand that people think are negative
  • The number of tweets that ask questions.
• For your reply post, discuss whether the data that the other student collected speaks to the brand's equity/strength in the marketplace.

question 2

This module had a wealth of information about teams and team leadership. It included how to recognize successful teams as well as effective team leadership. For this discussion, choose a team (sports, volunteer group, workplace, etc.) and determine why the team and its leader was successful.

3. What actions, behaviors, characteristics make the leader successful?
