10 Abstract Given the speedy development of social media in revolutionising the way corporate communications used to be undertaken, the present monograph attempts to address one pressing yet somehow neglected issue: the discursive construction of corporate identities on social media by Chinese corporations. Representative of numerous corporations actively engaged in their social media accounts with diverse economic ownership, two Chinese banks the state-owned Bank of China (BOC) and the joint-equity China Merchants Bank (CMB) were compared and contrasted in the present study in terms of identity construction and interaction with their followers. The entire microblogging updates by these two corporations during a time span of approximately three years (from 1 September 2013 to 30 September 2016) were collected for the present investigation. A two-way dialogic framework of corporate identity construction on social media was conceptualised to consist of two pairs of discourse initiations and responses: company s initiation and followers corresponding responses, and followers initiation and company s corresponding responses. In regard to the methodology, an integrated sociolinguistics approach drawing upon thematic analysis, interactional analysis and in-depth insider interviews was employed to shed light on the BOC and the CMB s shared and varied means of identity construction and interaction with followers. The findings illuminated differential multifaceted identities of the selected corporations on Sina Weibo. Amongst a number of humanised identities constructed on the corporate social media, the CMB primarily projected itself as an intimate companion to its millions of followers (59.5%, 825 items), whereas the most noticeable identity of the BOC is the specialist identity (40.1%, 573 items), followed by the companion identity (25.8%, 368 items). In addition, two overarching impression management strategies were discovered: humanising and popularising the corporate self and persuading followers into trusting (and eventually trading with) the corporate self. Furthermore, a careful examination of the firm follower interaction patterns on Sina Weibo revealed a handful of dialogic patterns with its relevant linguistic realisations that are used in the process of followers co-construction of corporate xv
11 xvi Abstract identity: storytelling/praise-acknowledgement and question-raillery between the BOC and its followers versus question-raillery, storytelling-raillery, storytelling/ praise-acknowledgement, question-answer and raillery-counter-raillery between the CMB and its followers. Finally, the variations in corporate identities between the two corporations are both statistically elucidated and qualitatively discussed vis-a-vis the in-depth interview data. The present study bears special significance to the theoretical and methodological development of studying corporate identity by developing a dialogic framework of analysis, which illuminates and explicates the multiplicity and fluidity of corporate identity construction on social media such as Sina Weibo. Furthermore, it bears significant practical implications for both practitioners and teachers or trainers in corporate communication who are faced with the challenges in managing public relations and corporate images in the age of social media.
