Research context : the SMAshIng (Social Media and Innovation) project Social media (SM) has revolutionized the way organizations interact with actors both inside and outside their boundaries. SM makes intensive use of web-based and mobile applications to create interactive platforms where individuals and communities can share, co-create, discuss, and modify user-generated content. SM is an effective way of promoting interactions in which heterogeneous actors operate in different social spheres in order to foster innovation. The SMAshIng project proposes to offer answers to the issues related to the effects of SM on organizational innovation capabilities.
