“…We recommend establishing special accounting topics, forums, or groups on social media for the learners and practitioners to facilitate knowledge sharing and exchange (Cepeda-Carrion et al, 2022 ; Sungkur et al, 2020 ). The same type of content can be gathered for easy search and viewing by posting topics in groups with appropriate tags (Cheng et al, 2020 ; Lei et al, 2021 ).…”

“…With the development of science and technology, social media has established an open and collaborative communication channel for people, playing an increasingly important role in people’s work, study, and life (Dong et al, 2021 ; Wang et al, 2021a , 2021b; Yang et al, 2022 ). Social media helps people share information anytime, anywhere, and quickly and thus helps learning (Cepeda-Carrion et al, 2022 ; Lei et al, 2021 ; Leung et al, 2021 ; Ma et al, 2016 ; Sungkur et al, 2020 ).…”

This research aims to explore the role of social media as aids for accounting education and how people use social media to share accounting knowledge. We use the 5E Learning Model and the Knowledge Management (KM) Processes Model to investigate this issue using qualitative research methods and interviews. Our findings indicate that accounting practitioners and learners discovered knowledge through previous classrooms and exchanges between colleagues in knowledge discovery. In sharing knowledge, they shared their experiences by freely publishing posts, testing cognition, and interacting and communicating. In knowledge capture, learners capture knowledge by viewing online courses, using social media to contact accounting practitioners, learning from others’ experiences, and posting questions. In knowledge application, learners apply knowledge in examinations, internships, work guidance, error avoidance, and daily fund management. We also discovered that accounting practitioners and learners have different attitudes toward the issue of knowledge payment. We put forward suggestions for establishing accounting forums and groups on social media. Accounting practitioners should be willing to share knowledge, and accounting learners should gain knowledge through interaction. The public should use social media to know more about the profession and gain basic accounting knowledge to facilitate daily living.

“…Social media allow to generate content in a simple way (Sungkur et al, 2020). However, the knowledge disseminated and accumulated through social media lacks systematic and linguistic structure (Xie et al, 2023) so it is essential to carry out exhaustive analyses that allow structuring the information.…”

Social media have in recent years been considered crucial to entrepreneurial activity. There are, however, different ways of using them. Social media can be used from a professional or personal perspective to interact or influence by generating networks of contacts. Users freely share their opinions, desires, and concerns on the networks, thus contacting and interacting with influential people or with their own interest groups. Digitalization has given social media particular significance, but it is not clear that they are key motivating factors for entrepreneurial drive. Hence, through a survey conducted in organizations in the Community of Madrid, we have analyzed various factors such as the context and the intention to use social media and their influence on the decision to be an entrepreneur or engage in entrepreneurial activities. We used the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) methodology, which allows us to provide reliability in the results without large samples. The findings suggest that social networks are dynamic and highly relevant tools today, with the ability to facilitate meaningful connections. Thus, while social media are influential and worthy of consideration, they are not the primary catalyst for entrepreneurial initiatives. Consequently, much of the information and knowledge generated in this area over the years is assumed to be normal and not particularly relevant to being an entrepreneur.
