Description
Rapid technological change leaves enterprises unable to effectively determine which new technologies are a passing fad and which ones are truly disruptive. For many enterprises, social networking applications present a facet of this problem. They see applications like Facebook growing at a torrid pace and they feel that there must be some opportunity for them in this burgeoning online world. Yet the knowledge that something “big” is going on is insufficient in and of itself to guide corporate decision-making.
