Purpose: The study sought to analyze the impact of social media on strategic management in Morocco
Methodology: The research was conducted entirely on desktop review method. Secondary data, or data that doesn't require actual observation in the field, are the focus of desk research. Because it requires little more than an executive's time, telephone rates, and directories, desk research is generally seen as a low-cost strategy in comparison to field research. As a result, the research used data that had already been collected and reported. This secondary data was readily available via the internet's digital library and scholarly articles.
Findings: The results show that social media has had a profound impact on strategic management. It has enabled organizations to identify and capitalize on opportunities, manage risks, and increase efficiency. By leveraging the power of social media, organizations can gain valuable insights into their customers, competitors, and the market, enabling them to make more informed and effective decisions. Social media has become an increasingly important part of the business landscape and its impact on strategic management in Morocco has been profound.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Future research in strategic management may be grounded in either the resource based view theory or the network based view theory. Policymakers, researchers, and academics from all across the world will all stand to gain from this study's findings. The study's findings will also be used by the country's top strategic management executives to boost the effectiveness of social media across all of their operations and initiatives. According to the research, social media organizations may boost their productivity in key areas by adopting rules for dealing with conflicts.
