Can Social Media Be Used to Incite Corporate Revolutions?

dailyfinance.com — In the case of the recent Egyptian revolution, controlling the social media was pretty difficult -- although the Mubarak regime did find a kill switch for the Internet -- so they became the protesters' communications channel of choice. Combine the revolutionary tweets and Facebook postings that helped motivate and organize protesters, the broader media's actions in focusing world attention on Egypt, and protesters' willingness to go in the streets day after day to battle government troops, and you have the ingredients for a revolution. What does this have to do with revolutions in a corporate environment? Think of these along two dimensions: employee-led and customer-led. Social media won't help employees get rid of tyrannical bosses. But social media can foment corporate warfare by enabling the speedy emergence of new companies that take the customers away from companies that aren't serving them well enough.
