What is Youtube?

YouTube sits at the intersection of media studies, digital marketing, and business strategy, making it a frequent subject in courses on entrepreneurship, communications, and technology management. As one of the most visited platforms on the internet, it raises substantive academic questions about how video content is created, distributed, and monetized, how user behavior shapes platform economies, and how companies leverage digital media to reach audiences at scale. Its dual identity as both a media company and a technology platform makes it especially rich for business analysis.

The papers archived on this topic reflect a range of analytical approaches. Some examine how YouTube appropriates and exploits other media forms, treating the platform through a media studies or critical theory lens. Others focus on promotional and marketing strategies, using YouTube as a case study in digital advertising and audience engagement. Case-based analyses appear frequently, exploring how companies and content creators use the platform to build brand presence. A smaller set of papers engages with internet governance questions, including the role of regulation and oversight in shaping how platforms like YouTube operate.

A strong essay on YouTube in a business context should establish a focused thesis early — whether centered on monetization models, content strategy, or platform competition — rather than attempting to survey the platform broadly. Evidence drawn from specific case studies, platform policies, or documented marketing campaigns tends to carry more weight than general observations about video culture. The most common pitfall is treating YouTube as a neutral technology rather than a company with distinct economic incentives, content policies, and competitive pressures that actively shape user and creator behavior.

Strategic human resource management and offshore leadership recruitment in U.S. companies
This is especially a prescient question and gives one pause when one examines the dismal record for most countries in foreign affairs and in foreign business. Weaving people together whether politically or in international business relationships is a tough task. For this reason, strategic human resource management is so important and it is businessmen that are usually engaged in foreign relations before governments (Sparrow, 2009, 463). Globalization has made this difficult quest an absolute necessity in both the spheres of businesses and government. In an article that appeared in 2009 in the Journal of International Business Studies, businesses are increasingly depending upon offshore operations as areas where they can remake themselves. This is done particularly in the area of technology innovation where much innovation is happening offshore in outsourcing operations and projects. While innovation in this one sector is critical, there is a shortage of U.S. leaders, therefore, much of the leadership is also being recruited offshore to insure that U.S. companies occupy a level playing field overseas (Lewin, Massini & Peeters, 2009, 1406).
