Tiivistelmä
The current chapter aims to increase the understanding on how social media as a tool can become a source of competitiveness and enhance international growth of small technology firms operating in software sector. Based on exploratory case studies undertaken in two Finnish software firms, our chapter specifically links international growth to organizational functions and specific social media platforms. We offer insights on how organizational functions like sales and marketing, research and development, customer support, and human resources can efficiently use specific social media platforms to positively influence international growth. Finally, our chapter offers both theoretical and managerial implications.
