“…Although email has proven invaluable, evidence shows that its use is not associated with maintaining ties on an ongoing basis. 38 For this, other communication tools were also utilized by the Partnership when appropriate. In certain situations such as the relaying of negative messages or complicated policy changes, email was used with caution 39 and often replaced with face-to-face communication.…”

The tripartite partnership among Morehouse School of Medicine, Tuskegee University, and University of Alabama at Birmingham is complex. In 2005, the three schools—with different institutional cultures, characters, and resources—agreed to collaborate in efforts to eliminate racial/ethnic disparities in cancer burdens. Pursuing this laudable aim predictably involved some miscommunication. The Bioethics Shared Resource (BSR) group foresaw such challenges and monitored interactions to prevent harm, noting that while effective communication is critical to the achievement of mutual goals, an understanding and prudent use of proven communication principles is a sine qua non for success. In this commentary, we share the undergirding moral concepts, communication approaches, and lessons learned. This experience has led us to propose an ethics of good communication for others to consider.

“…However, little is known about how nonprofit organizations use social media within SINs and whether social media can enhance operational effectiveness (Weare, Loges, & Oztas, ). Practitioners and scholars alike can benefit from understanding how social media are used to inform, manage, educate, or otherwise communicate with different sets of stakeholder groups.…”

“…Collaboration, by definition, includes communication (Ball‐Rokeach & Loges, ). The media available to members of a network affect the network's communication structure, and potentially, its performance (Weare et al, ). However, coordination and information sharing across organizational networks where relationships are horizontal rather than hierarchical remains a major management challenge for government and nonprofits (Agranoff & McGuire, ).…”

Stakeholder communication in service implementation networks: expanding relationship management theory to the nonprofit sector through organizational network analysis

Nonprofits increasingly participate in government‐funded service implementation networks (SINs). However, extant research does not explore how organizations might strategically tailor communication to different stakeholder groups or use different communication tools for management. Stakeholders are not a monolithic group, and communicating with stakeholders within SINs is hypothesized to involve different forms of communication than communicating with stakeholders outside of the network. In this paper, relationship management theory is used to examine strategic communication with stakeholder groups within and outside of SINs. Both traditional and emergent (e.g., social media) forms of communication are examined. Survey and interview data on communication within and outside communication networks are analyzed using organizational network analysis techniques. The findings indicate strategic communication in the network differs from strategic communication with stakeholders outside the network. Within the network, organizations place varying emphasis on the use of traditional and emergent forms of communication for management, implying nonprofit managers funded under government grants continue to rely on face‐to‐face and phone communication and have yet to adopt emerging communication strategies to assist in the management of their programs with their partner organizations.Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Data included all social media posts and user engagement. Collecting Facebook and other communications data from a distinct time period is a technique consistent with methodological approaches of other media analyses (Carboni and Maxwell 2014; Weare, Loges, and Oztas ). It is cost prohibitive to obtain more than two weeks of data using commercially available programs.…”

Do foundations effectively use social media to engage stakeholders? Do usage and engagement vary by foundation type? This article has been written to stimulate discussion and research about social media use and user engagement by foundations beyond measuring social media presence. We analyzed Facebook usage and stakeholder engagement for three types of foundations: community, corporate, and independent grant‐making foundations. We found that although community foundations are more likely to have a social media presence, corporate and independent foundations are more likely to use Facebook and to effectively engage stakeholders. Findings illuminate the need to understand social media usage and engagement in addition to presence. We discuss potential benefits of social media use and provide practical communication management recommendations for nonprofit practitioners.
