Comparing Facebook as an interactive communication tool for companies in LatAm and worldwide

Abstract

Social networks have changed the communication rules between companies and their stakeholders. Facebook became an important tool of communication strategies to promote interaction and dialogue. The objective of this study is to analyze how companies in LatAm and worldwide are managing the interaction with their stakeholders on Facebook. For this paper, 159 corporate profiles and 32,760 posts were analyzed through the methodology of content analysis. The categories selected were communication approach, communication resources, interaction level, and interaction rate. Results illustrate that the communication of companies in LatAm and worldwide mainly involves an informative approach on Facebook. The content disseminated by companies is not promoting interaction with the stakeholders. In contrast, companies are managed in a unidirectional way, meaning that it is not managed to establish and strengthen relationships, but rather to get visibility.

La comunicación de los activistas en Instagram: el caso de los influencers de habla hispana

El botón de "me gusta" es una manera pasiva de expresar aprecio a los contenidos sin expresión verbal, el de "compartir" permite a los usuarios ser portavoces voluntarios de los mensajes de los influencers a sus propios grupos sociales, y el "comentar" permite a los usuarios establecer conversaciones directas con los influencers y/u otros usuarios.…”

“…Para definir los temas se elaboró una clasificación propia basada en las causas que se pretende defender a través del activismo digital (Castaño, 2013;Jordan, 2001;Pascual Lozano, 2018;Sharp, 2011). Así se definieron 4 temáticas: 1 Teniendo en cuenta que el nivel de compromiso de un "me gusta" y un comentario no es el mismo (Capriotti & Zeler, 2020), se decidió multiplicar el total de "me gusta" obtenidos por 1 y el total de comentarios por 3.
