Social Technology: A Compendium of Short Cases

• In Event: AIS Education Cases

Abstract

Companies are currently making a wide variety of social technology investments for their communications to internal and external stakeholders. The value of and risks involved in these investments merit examination. Seven short, open-ended social technology cases are presented here for use in financial accounting, auditing, or accounting information systems courses. These cases examine the benefits and costs of social technology, and how companies might manage their new social technology-related risks. The cases can be used in either small group or individual assignments.
