Social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter provide consumers with a venue for voicing opinions, allowing management an almost immediate gauge of their services and products. This change is on the verge of affecting the employee side of management as well. According to Wall Street Journal Blogger, Gary Hamel, today’s youth having grown up with Facebook, will expect management to communicate via social networking. Hamel sees this change as having the potential to affect how management deals with employees in twelve ways ranging from: All ideas having equal footing, to Contributions counting more than credentials, and even Hierarchies being natural not prescribed.
