Most companies’ success is relied on the relationship amongst CEO’s, top managers and all other lower ranked employees. When it comes to difficult decision making, already developed social networks through the company and its members, could really benefit the process of the company’s operations. Sometimes we face problems when we have a quite large social network within the company. More people are not necessarily better, managers are more likely experience a lot of pressure and information overload while listening to majority of the people. After awhile managers and CEO’s are most likely to reduce the number of the employees to a manageable size. That way they reduced the information overload and strengthen the link between the most trusted employees; which lets members use their strength more efficiently. While we bring all of our trusted employees together, not only do we have all the information that we need, but we also come up with all sort of other problems such as lack of the information about the colleagues background and difficulty applying and directing all of the gathered information towards the main goal. (Hidden Powers of Social Networks).
That’s where blogs come in; blogs could be a very effective and easy way to distribute information to each member of the group. I believe that each member of the group could create their own blogs and update it once a week. People should not overload themselves with blogs, of course they are busy and they have other tasks, but posting about yourself, and what you do could very much help the other members of the group. This way the corporation could work more like a unit, every time they come to the meeting, they already have knowledge about one another. I think it will really help to consume some time. While people are more likely to engage in conversations that are common to all of them, preparation could lead to a more efficient information implementation into the discussion.

I have never really thought of the strategic way of using blog in the business environment before I take this course. However, after the discussion and reading the posting like yours, made me think the power of blogging when used strategically by group of people.
