Social Media in Emerging Economies: A Cross-Cultural Comparison
The article, entitled "Social Media in Emerging Economies: A Cross-Cultural Comparison," is co-authored by Dr. Tom Stafford, J.E. Barnes Professor at Louisiana Tech University.
Their research explores the notion of cultures of influence in Southeast Asia, including uniquely collectivist cultures like Vietnam and Singapore, where traditionally the needs and goals of the group are valued over the needs and desires of each individual.
The study offers clues to broaden understanding of unique aspects of Asian society and discuss about attractive emerging markets for Western media companies’ expansion. The authors provide six propositions for social media experts and practitioners to evaluate awareness and grasp best practices when studying social media in the region.
