Social media and social technologies are rapidly changing the way we communicate, collaborate and build relationships on a personal level. Yet companies struggle to find effective ways to take advantage of social technologies to enhance product innovation and product development processes.
To understand how social media is impacting product innovation, Kalypso surveyed over 90 manufacturing and service companies followed by in-depth interviews of select businesses.
