Globalization has well and truly taken hold of today’s industrial and economic sectors, however the latest shift in current trends is that of the globalization of social business. We are currently witnessing the humanization of organizational culture on a goliath stage as more and more Fortune500 companies recognize the importance of social technologies. What is an imperative strategy now, for those few companies, is to transform their social footprint onto a global scale through a globalized social strategy. Today’s 2.4 billion Internet users are seeing their quotidian life transform before their eyes on account of social and technological advancements. As a result, the international social landscape is vastly different – in 2012 alone, social media users increased in India and China, the two most populated countries in the world, by 51.7% and 19.9% respectively. Although accustomed to riding shotgun as the two leading social networks, Facebook and Twitter are having to share their audience with numerous other international social behemoths in the making.

Its current growth curve is appreciating on average by 25 million new members per month. Although America may possess the title of being the ‘Golden Shoppers’ of the Internet, Asia is a source of unbelievable potential. China accounted for over $160 billion in online transactions during 2012. On top of that, 67% of China’s social media users interact with brands online averaging 8 each. As a global brand with loyal customers on an international scale, it is imperative to globalize your social footprint to maximize your customer engagement across all borders. Why Should Facebook Care? While 2012 saw Facebook turn public on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange; it also amazingly saw a loss of 1.4 million active monthly users. The enormous surge in popularity of international social platforms across the globe allows them to attract new users every day. To tap into these markets, a social business’ global organizational model must be completely transparent in order to effectively communicate the brand’s method effectively across all social, cultural and
