Organizational Concern 4: Social Media Systems Compromise Sensitive Information
The Concern
Leaders who work in organizations with highly competitive markets, where information
is viewed as unique, or that deal with classified information are concerned social media systems
will compromise competitive, classified, or privileged information (Bingham & Conner, 2010).
The Benefits
Practicing good governance of social media systems and encouraging employees to
participate knowing they bear responsibility for protecting sensitive information will allow
“living intelligence” to permeate the organization. This increases the efficiency and effectiveness
of a corporate intranet verses a company’s internet site.
