“…Perceived usefulness and ease of use motivate B2B firms to adopt social media (Siamagka, Christodoulides, Michaelidou, & Valvi, 2015), and higher communication quality is an expected outcomes of social media use (Wang, Pauleen, & Zhang, 2016). Moreover, organizational social media use has been conceptually and qualitatively linked to co-creating value (Trainor, 2012), interfirm cooperation (Chirumalla, Oghazi, & Parida, 2018), and network creation (Quinton & Wilson, 2016).

“…The next group of studies looked at social media use by B2B companies (Andersson et al 2013;Bernard 2016;Bolat et al 2016;Denktaş-Şakar and Sürücü 2018;Dyck 2010;Guesalaga 2016;Habibi et al 2015). B2B companies use social media for enhancing and managing customer relationships (Andersson and Wikström 2017;Bolat et al (2016); branding (Andersson and Wikström 2017;Bolat et al 2016), sensing market (Bolat et al 2016) and co-production (Chirumalla et al 2018). Additionally, it was mentioned that some of the B2B companies use social media as a recruiting tool, and tool which helps to collaborate globally (Andersson and Wikström 2017;Dyck 2010).…”

“…The study proposed the B2B social media strategy framework, which includes six components of a social media strategy: 1) monitoring and listening 2) empowering and engaging employees 3) creating compelling content 4) stimulating eWOM 5) evaluating and selecting channels 6) enhancing brand presence through integrating social media. Chirumalla et al (2018) focused on the social media engagement strategies of manufacturing companies. By using semi-structured interviews (36), observations (4), focus group meetings (6), and documentation, the study developed the process of social media adoption through a three-phase engagement strategy which includes coordination, cooperation, and co-production.…”
