I have been invited to write a chapter in a book about recruiting with social media and need to hear from individuals who are actively involved with this field. Can you help?
The book, “Enterprise 2.0: How Technology, E-Commerce, and Web 2.0 Are Transforming Business Virtually,” is published by Prager. Tracy Tuten Ryan, PhD, an associate professor of marketing at Longwood University in Virginia, is editing it. Incidentally, I first met Tracy through Twitter and it is the medium through which she invited me to write this book chapter!
The survey is designed to understand how you use social media to recruit candidates and to define which specific applications you use most frequently.
Answer as many questions as you choose: none are required so if one is not relevant to you or you don’t have an answer you can leave it blank. I might use the contents of your submission for direct quotes and general information.
Please visit http://cli.gs/smrecruit to complete the survey. If you have any questions about the survey or are otherwise interested in the book, please leave a comment below, send an e-mail to doctorious [at] generative [dot] com or send a tweet to @doctorious on Twitter.

Achieving and maintaining high performance levels in any organization requires an effective communication system — otherwise there will be no way to exchange information and share knowledge. This paper explores a highly effective tool with which an organization can improve its organizational communication: Intranets. The abstract of the paper reads as follows:
With increasing frequency, organizations are implementing intranets to improve their internal communication, increase productivity and reduce operating expenses. This paper defines the need for improved internal communication, outlines the history of intranets, explores their benefits, notes the risks and solutions, and offers implementation insights to which an organization can refer.
This was actually the first scholarly paper I wrote that was published. I originally wrote it in the fall of 2002 for an organizational behavior and strategy class in my MBA program at Woodbury University. Upon the suggestion of my instructor — Dr. Satinder K. Dhiman, the Associate Dean of Business and MBA Program Chair – I submitted it for publication in the 2003 Business Research Yearbook of the International Academy of Business Disciplines (IABD).
It was accepted and I presented it at the group’s annual conference held in Orlando, Florida that April. Two months later, in June 2003, I flew to Honolulu, Hawaii to present the same paper at the International Business and Management Research Conference (IBMRC), which had also been published in the organization’s refereed academic journal, The Business Review, Cambridge. I was also recognized with the “Best Presenter” award at the conference.
I have uploaded two versions of the paper for your review:
I welcome your thoughts and comments — please contact me at doctorious (at) generative (dot) com.
Update: By random coincidence I discovered this paper was cited as a reference in the 2004 book “MBA In A Day: What You Would Learn At Top-Tier Business Schools (If You Only Had The Time!) 
” by Dr. Steven Stralser. The paper was apparently used as a general source of information in a chapter dealing with — surprise — Intranets! The citation appears on page 262 and covers material presented on pages 260 to 262.

Forty years ago today — April 4, 1968 – Dr. Martin Luther King was assasinated in Memphis, Tennessee — dramatically changing the course of history and forever cementing his important role in the civil rights struggle. In celebration of King’s leadership sty, four years ago this past March I presented a paper I wrote, “From Montgomery to Memphis: Lessons on Leadership from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.” at the 16th annual conference of the International Academy of Business Disciplines in San Antonio, Texas.
The paper examines King’s leadership style during his time and the lasting impression his efforts continue to make. The abstract for the paper reads as follows:
From humble beginnings, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led a nation – and the world – out of the chains of societal slavery. How did he achieve such lasting results? Leadership is a skill few individuals master. Martin Luther King, Jr. was one of those individuals. This paper explores King’s success and presents a framework in which anyone can learn to become a great leader.
I welcome your comments and thoughts on the paper, which you can download (as a PDF) here.
