This study focused on how the U.S. apparel companies use social media as a new marking channel. On Facebook Wall the contents of messages in English initiated by companies and consumers were investigated and categorized by using content analysis. Chi-square analysis and t-test were utilized to compare the use of social media by companies with higher and lower business performance. The majority of messages initiated by apparel companies gave their consumers useful information about new products, promotions, and recruiting. On the other hand, messages initiated by consumers contained a variety of content related to companies, users, and products. Apparel companies with lower business performance were more actively engaged in posting messages and responding to consumers. The results will be helpful in employing social media to build new marketing strategies through direct communications with consumers.

As more consumers are interested in sustainability issues and evaluate brands based on their social responsibility issues involved, firms are using social media platforms in order to communicate with consumers about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities. However, the current literature focuses mostly on factors drive engagement of promotional messages, while little evidence was found in the literature on how to design effective CSR messages on social media to engage consumers. Using over 3,000 branded posts on Facebook and Twitter, this research explores factors that help CSR messages become more engaging in social media. The results show that, on average, CSR messages had a negative significant effect on consumer engagement. However, CSR messages became more engaging when designed with emotional appeals, longer texts, and a hashtag. While marginal, CSR messages with informational appeals and humor undermined the effect of CSR messages on engagement. Finally, we explore different types of CSR messages by their beneficiary scope and the role of brands in the message and discuss what message contents drive more engagement in social media. This research contributes to the academic literature and managers by providing new insights on how to design CSR messages for effective communications in social media.

기업들은 소셜 미디어로부터 특정 주제 및 자사 제품에 대한 다수의 사용자들의 의견을 수집하고 분석하여 사용자 집단이나 소비 트렌드를 식별할 수 있고, 이를 기반으로 미래 예측 및 마케팅 등의 다양한 목적으로 활용하고 있다. 따라서 현재 소셜 미디어 분석 도구들이 네트워크 통계 분석을 통해 기업의 소셜 미디어 마케팅의 성과를 측정하기 위한 수단으로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 도구들은 방대한 양의 소셜 미디어 데이터를 수집하고 이를 분석하기 위해 고가의 컴퓨팅 자원 및 네트워크 자원을 소모하고, 복잡한 소프트웨어 플랫폼 구축 및 운용에 따른 비용 부담과 많은 운영 노하우를 필요로 한다. 그 결과 중소기업이나 개인 사업자의 경우는 이러한 소셜 미디어 데이터를 효율적으로 활용하지 못하는 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 중소기업이나 개인 컴퓨터에서도 운영이 가능한 소셜 미디어 데이터 수집 및 분석 시스템 개발에 필요한 프레임워크 설계와 제시된 프레임워크 설계에 대한 완전성이나 일관성을 검증하기 위한 정형 명세 기법을 제시한다. 또한 정형명세 기법으로 Z 언어를 통해 명세한 결과를 Z-EVES Tool을 통해 Z 모델 체킹을 수행하여 프레임워크 설계의 명확성을 검증한다.
