Week 2 Review

This week, I have been able to use the RSS Feeds and social bookmaking in delicious. I find it very interesting and fascinating that there are tools that can help to get valuable details in such a short time, while sharing ideas and knowledge. This week has made me realise the importance of having professional knowledge. That is because it helps you to understand the subject better and make the most use of the tools available. My confidence has certainly increased in the use of information technology. Though I found it a bit confusing at first, I now find it interesting and useful and I know that with time and practice, I will get better, and that I intend to do.

Corporate Social Responsibility activities imply an additional cost for an organisation. Having a strategic Corporate Social Responsibility plan involves being able to communicate activities effectively. Social bookmaking will make that possible because it will give the most current information about an organisation at a very fast rate. It is cost effective because it saves an organisation the adittional cost of having to use costly advertising strategies and human resources. It can also serve as a form of advert which might also increase an organisation's customer base.

Social bookmaking can be useful in Corporate Social Responsibility where organisations can use them to enable stakeholders share and save information concerning their activities. It can help organisations to know how popular their sites and their activities have been so that they can improve. It can increase the number of people that visit an organisations website which can also increase patronage of such an organisation.

Organisations can share ideas and partner with other organisations in the same field or who share similar interest to promote themselves and the society at large.It provides a forum for organisations and stakeholders to share and exchange ideas

RSS can be useful in social responsibility. That is because it helps an organisation to be more specific about its activities, place them in categories and makes it easier to see and know the specific activities that they have been involved with and the exact areas that are covered. This is important because right now, some of the important areas of Corporate Social Responsibility attention are environmental issues, standard products and charity. when stakeholders are aware of an organisation's involvement in such areas, it can result in an increased customer base.

It can help a business to display quality information in a unique style, and gives the organisation the chance to inform stakeholders of its Corporate Social Responsibility activities. This ensures that stakeholders do not have a wrong perception of an organisation, and also ensures that its activities are known. This is important because it can determine an organisations customer base. It gives organisations a chance to compare with other organisations in the same field who may share similar interest to see how they can improve.

It saves the stakeholder the time and the stress of having to search for information manually on the net. It automatically shows the most recent information and so it constantly keeps stakeholders informed on the Corporate Social Responsibility activities undertaken by organisations.
