Clearly, the social media both allows and encourages enhanced levels of transparency. As mentioned though, many organisations are still failing to adequately encourage the implementation of social media within their organisations. Organisations must recognise the potential for social media as a means of demonstrating transparency to consumers. Obviously, the presence of social media alone does not represent transparency in itself; the organisation must still facilitate a culture of transparency. If user generated content is unduly censored and controlled, particularly negative content, the potentially harmful repercussions thereof outweigh the detrimental effects of failing to participate in the social media in the first place.
