  • Embedding Social Media Strategies for Organisational Change and Sustainability: Evidence from Developing Nations   Order a copy of this article
    by Qiong Wu 
    Abstract: Social media strategies (SMS) play an important role in driving organisational change (OC) and promoting organisational sustainability (OS) by fostering transparent communication, engaging stakeholders, and building an innovative culture. This study attempts to explore the nexus among SMS, organisational change, and organisational sustainability from China based on the technology acceptance model (TAM). The outcomes were obtained by applying structural equation modelling using SmartPLS. First, a positive connection between SMS and change management was observed. Likewise, the study confirmed a positive correlation between SMS and organisational sustainability. The study provides insights into SMS and how these SMS can dynamically bring change and optimise organisational sustainability.
    Keywords: Social Media Strategies; Change Management; Social Sustainability; Economic Sustainability; Environment Sustainability.

    by Nadezhda Pilipchuk, Anna F. Beilina, Elena E. Udovik, Oksana M. Orlovtseva, Nurmagomed Surakatov, Gulnaz F. Galieva 
    Abstract: The purpose of this study is to present a conceptual model for the formation of adaptive human capital as a foundation of the knowledge-based economy. The paper outlines the authors approach to substantiating this model, which comprises three key components: enhancing the digital educational environment, managing the professional development of teachers, and implementing state regulatory measures in the sphere of online education. The study analyses indicators reflecting both the conditions for accessing online educational services and the corresponding needs of the Russian population. Furthermore, it examines the structure of the online education market in Russia, focusing on commercial online technologies used in secondary and higher education, as well as the EdTech segment of supplementary education for adults and for children of school and preschool age. In addition, the paper identifies the main quality-related challenges of the online educational environment and proposes measures to mitigate them.
