“…All posts on all accounts were screenshotted and categorised (Table 1) according to their theme (validation was strengthened by cross-referencing among the accounts), in line with existing studies (Calzati and Simanowski, 2018; Hatzithomas et al, 2016; Roshan et al, 2016; Yuan, 2019). Then, following the discussion in the previous section, posts pertaining to ‘identity’ and ‘sales’ were ascribed to ‘Corporate Ability’; posts tagged as ‘training/recruit’, ‘CSR’ and ‘competition’ were subsumed under ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’ insofar as they all foreground the social-community commitment of the company more than its core business; and ‘event’- and ‘project’-related posts were considered as ‘hybrid’, a mix of both social and business.…”

“…This post received two comments: the first one is from ‘Huawei Kenya’, which integrates the information contained in the post, stating that the foundation ‘@SamburuGirlsFDN has also created an environment for them to receive education from the primary to the tertiary level’. To this comment, a user simply replied with a greeting, reasserting the extent to which comments on SNSs are mostly phatic (Calzati and Simanowski, 2018). Subsequently, we find a post on 2 April 2019 focused on ‘Huawei Technologies Kenya Management Trainee Program’, which is the same as the one appearing on Facebook.…”

This article focuses on the launch by the Chinese company Huawei of ICT academies in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and Kenya especially. Existing literature shows contrasting findings concerning the impact of such formation and recruitment centres. Through high-level thematic and sentiment analyses, this article examines various Huawei accounts on social networking sites (SNSs) – that is, Facebook and Twitter – in order to better assess: (1) the kind of online corporate communication unfolded by the company with particular regard to these centres; and (2) how the advertising of such centres is perceived by users. The results suggest that Huawei’s online corporate requires better fine-tuning with local SNSs’ users.

“…The nature of online interactivity includes, or even forces, dependence on written and visual forms for communication. Calzati and Simanowski (2018) described the varying ways that social media platforms are used as a postmodern methodology to construct and express self-identity among young Asian students.…”

Our purpose in writing this article is to describe the use of online data sources (such as blogs and microblogs) in a qualitative analysis learning project for graduate occupational therapy students. The project was designed to meet the following learning objectives: (1) increase students’ understanding and appreciation for qualitative research principles and methods, (2) increase students’ ability to use thematic and narrative analysis procedures with authentic data sets, and (3) increase students’ ability to apply qualitative findings to occupational therapy practice. This article describes the project’s theoretical rationale, components, objectives, implementation, and informal outcomes, along with a discussion of strengths and limitations of this project and suggestions for future research. This project demonstrates one way in which publicly available online data sources can be used to create an effective graduate qualitative analysis learning activity. We are sharing this innovative learning project in the hopes that it may be of interest to our colleagues in higher education and may contribute to the ethical and scholarly use of online data in learning assignments.
