The main problem is with the beaurocracy of the place (Univeristy overall, not the Department of Marketing)... it's a huge organisation, filled with conservative, narrow-minded "managers" who won't even allow youTube or iTunes, let alone blogging, wikis or podcasting. Even my award-winning <A HREF="http://www.monashmarketing.com" REL="nofollow">Marketing Today</A> podcast has to run on external services (Blogger, Feedburner, etc), as the University is unable to provide me with in-house IT support.<BR/><BR/>Keep fighting for what's right - we need people like you to help open the eyes of the ignorant bureaucrats!Peter Wagstaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12034182816702083555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36421318.post-3149153102148253802008-05-23T19:51:00.000+10:002008-05-23T19:51:00.000+10:00Brilliant post.

If the university really wanted to show themselves as pioneers in marketing education they should integrate blogging and other social medias as soon as possible.<BR/><BR/>I guess the question becomes "How?". I don't have the answer but I think recognition and support would be a good start and then working this into the academic coursework. I know Peter already received some feedback about that podcast which suggested perhaps part of an assessment could be a blog.<BR/><BR/>I know for my internship I'll be approaching an organisation to see if I can help implement a social media strategy... much like a recent post I read. ;)Zac Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267384536450417886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36421318.post-77359363203227326522008-05-23T19:40:00.000+10:002008-05-23T19:40:00.000+10:00Stan, I always like to think big.
