...Inc. (NASCAR) is the sanctioning body for one of North America’s premier sports. NASCAR races are broadcast in more than 150 countries and in 20 languages. In the U.S., races are broadcast on FOX, TNT, ABC/ESPN/ESPN2, SPEED and SiriusXM Satellite Radio. NASCAR fans are among the most brand-loyal in all of sports, and as a result more Fortune 100 companies participate in NASCAR than any other sport. NASCAR consists of three national series (NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NASCAR Nationwide Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series), four regional series, and one local grassroots series, as well as two international series. Also part of NASCAR is Grand-Am Road Racing, known for its competition on road courses with multiple classes of cars. NASCAR sanctions more than 1,200 races at 100 tracks in more than 30 U.S. states, Canada and Mexico. Based in Daytona Beach, Fla., NASCAR has offices in eight cities across North America (Baxter & Schwartz, 2012). The research conducted will influence what I believe to be true and that is that NASCAR is successful as an organization when it comes to the areas of competitive advantage, change management, diversity management, recruitment and selection, compensation and benefits, and organizational climate. These organizational aspects are truly more important than a company’s financial state because they play a large role in the lives of their employees and customers, and these issues can help to determine the future state of the organization...

Crittenden b,* a b College of Business Administration, Northeastern University, Boston, MA 02115, U.S.A. Carroll School of Management, Boston College, Chestnut Hill, MA 02467, U.S.A. KEYWORDS Social media; Traditional media; Online ecosystems; Marketing communications; Marketing metrics; Consumer engagement and interaction Abstract Consumers are adopting increasingly active roles in co-creating marketing content with companies and their respective brands. In turn, companies and organizations are looking to online social marketing programs and campaigns in an effort to reach consumers where they ‘live’ online. However, the challenge facing many companies is that although they recognize the need to be active in social media, they do not truly understand how to do it effectively, what performance indicators they should be measuring, and how they should measure them. Further, as companies develop social media strategies, platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter are too often treated as stand-alone elements rather than part of an integrated system. This article offers a systematic way of understanding and conceptualizing online social media, as an ecosystem of related elements involving both digital and traditional media. We highlight a best-practice case study...
