As social media has grown within and outside of enterprises, the question of legal and regulatory liabilities for content has remained in the background. However, we may start seeing more policing by regulators and intrusion by legal departments.

Is the Corporate Structure Obsolete?
We have also seen social media form communities that increase productivity in manufacturing processes, software development, and project management. We have seen people self manage in social media to segregate and elevate good information away from bad information. We have seen communities act with logic, tact, and precision previously thought to be the province of top management guidance.
In short, we have seen social media replace or duplicate almost every structural element of the traditional corporation outside of the construct of corporations. Can social media provide a corporate structure in and among itself?

Social Business Design = Web 2.0 + Médias sociaux + Entreprise 2.0
En ce moment c’est la saison des conférences et l’actualité est particulièrement riche cette semaine avec la 140 Characters Conference à New York et l’Enterprise 2.0 Conference à Boston. Médias sociaux et entreprise 2.0… deux domaines qui suscitent beaucoup de bruit et de créativité mais qui ne se mélangent pas. Une des raisons principale qui fait que ces deux domaines sont jusqu’à présent restés hermétiques est parce qu’ils répondent à des objectifs différents et surtout fonctionnent différemment (notamment dans la motivation et les dynamiques sociales sui régissent les interactions).
C’est dans ce contexte que le Social Business Design fait son apparition avec l’ambition d’unifier ces deux pratiques en une sorte de Théorie du Tout : From Social Media To Social Business Design.

From Social Media To Social Business Design
While I can't go into the full vision of what we're thinking about yet—we're realizing that the bigger picture goes beyond how you can be a great tweeter, blogger or social media evangelist for your organization. It's time to think beyond marketing and building personal brands and time to think about how participation through social technologies can lead to emergent outcomes for any organization. Can "social media" save GM? It's unlikely that media can save any organization grappling with changes in their business environment. But what if organizations of that size were able to act preemptively before market conditions forced them into similar predicaments?

12 Rules For Bringing 'Social' To Your Business
The social meme has now fallen prey to this and frankly it's at serious risk of losing what makes it special, at least in terms of the modern 2.0 era. All of the new uses of "social" in the online world: Social media, social marketing, software software, social networking, and so on, can be -- and often are -- extremely potent new methods for creating value with human relationships over the network. They can represent truly important, even revolutionary, new changes in the way to we interact with each other in our lives and businesses.

The Social Software Value Matrix
I think of Enterprise 2.0 adoption as a journey through a succession of benefits. I've illustrated them in what I call the "Social Software Value Matrix." The first step in the journey is pure operational improvement. You're not really changing the way you do business, just enhancing existing interactions within existing silos. Over time, the tools lead employees to interact in new ways, across silos. This creates cultural change as the company reinvents the way the different pieces of the business interact to create value. Finally, and most dramatically, companies can create new interactions with customers and channel partners. That's business model transformation, and it only happens when your business is ready for it.

Putting a Price on Social Connections
Researchers at IBM Research and MIT's Sloan School of Management found that the average e-mail contact was worth $948 in revenue. To unearth that and other data, they used mathematical formulas to analyze the e-mail traffic, address books, and buddy lists of 2,600 IBM consultants over the course of a year. (Their identities were shielded from researchers, who viewed them only as encrypted numbers, known as hash codes.) They compared the communication patterns with performance, as measured by billable hours.

Getting togetherness
Many other companies are also trying to foster greater collaboration within their ranks. Some are using web-based social media to help them. For instance, Lockheed Martin, an American defence giant, plans to roll out Unity—a software platform that encourages employees from different areas to connect with one another via blogs, wikis and other online tools—across its entire business later this year, after piloting it in one area. But dismantling internal barriers to co-operation is a tricky business that requires much more than smart software. Unless firms are careful, there is a real danger that collaborative crusades could do them more harm than good.

Social networking in the office
I’m seeing a pattern here. The debate over use of social network usage is simply the latest incarnation of this old debate. There were probably similar debates about the introduction of papyrus in ancient Egypt. The issue of misuse of technology is a management issue. If people are not doing their job removing a technology will not alter that fact. If they don’t want to do their work they will find other ways of not doing when we remove Facebook access.

Enterprise 2.0 Tools Align with McKinsey Steps for Making Good Business Decisions : Enterprise 2.0 Blog: News, Coverage, and Commentary
A recent McKinsey survey on how companies make good decisions suggests several actions that are strongly associated with good financial and operational outcomes. In their survey, they asked executives on a global basis about a capital or human-resources decision their companies made. The results highlight the real business benefits such as increased profits and rapid implementation of several decision-making disciplines. It seems to me that in three of the four social media can play a useful role. Although in the end it is the people and what they might do with the technology, not the technology, that matter.

WebWorkerDaily » Archive Hard Selling vs. Soft Selling: Which Approach Do You Use With Clients? «
This got me thinking about my own approach to selling my freelance services. Could I get away with saying something similar to a potential client? I can imagine some of them getting turned off, while I can picture others saying “yes.” I wouldn’t dare try it, of course. The sales process is my least favorite part of online freelancing.

Social Media Policy Examples
So you finally convinced your organization to get on the social media rocket… but what about all of those questions?
