Articles on social change from the latest edition of SSIR
Summer 2010
Volume 8, Number 3
Social media—such as Facebook and Twitter—can be cost-effective and powerful tools for organizations to increase their social impact and enhance the way that they work. In the summer 2010 issue of Stanford Social Innovation Review, Monitor Institute consultants detail how some organizations have become more effective by using social media to transform themselves into networked organizations. The authors of “Working Wikily” go on to provide a road map for organizations that want to do the same.
