applications which are designed to allow people for sharing content quickly, efficiently as well
as in real time. This communication tool is utilised by organisations for marketing their business
and bringing awareness among people about products and services in which they deal (What is
social media?, 2019). The ability in such a way, has completely transformed the manner in
which a company conduct their business. For example – Barrington James which is a SME of
UK, is highly sophisticated firm that provides HR solutions to medical, pharma and healthcare
industries. This firm use social media to create its marketing image within targeted group of
audience. Using the broadcast channels like Blog, Facebook, You Tube & Vimeo, help this firm
in connecting as well as building relationships with customers, to attract them towards its
services.
While in context with CSR activities, it stands for Corporate Social Responsibilities that
companies are used for social welfare and support government to protect ecosystem from
harmful production. Companies which mainly deal in manufacturing and automotive industries
are mainly concerned for CSR activities, because process of producing services include a number
of risk factors that either harm societies or environment. Therefore, through investment in such
activities, they can contribute major role in societal and environment development. CSR
activities also become standard practices of businesses that helps in enhancing their brand image
as well, by integrating social, ethical, environmental, human rights and more, into business
operations.
