The McKinsey Global Institute in its report “The Social Economy: Unlocking Value and Productivity Through Social Technologies” estimates that leveraging social technologies and platforms including crowdsourcing and co-creation could improve productivity of high-skilled knowledge workers by 25% and contribute between $900 billion to $1.3 trillion per annum across four commercial sectors: consumer packaged goods, retail financial services, advanced manufacturing and professional services.
Put it simply: “Companies that depend very heavily on influencing consumers can derive considerable value by interacting with them in social media“.
