A process can be seen as a value chain. By its contribution to the creation or delivery of a product or service, each step in a process should add value to the preceding steps. Rummler and Brache, Improving Performance

Costly info and coordination integrates value activities most economical way to produce Inputs, Manufacturing, Marketing, Distribution, Retail

Cheap information disintegrates value chains, because segment consolidators realize specialization gains and economies of scope integrated production becomes costly Inputs Manufacturer Marketer Distributor Retailer

Cheap coordination atomizes disintegrated value chains and explodes value activities within layers, because microproducers realize distributed scale economies

Why? Market power in atomized landscapes is a function of relative scale: the edges can realize the greatest relative economies of scale via demand and supply side network FX. The middle of the value chain explodes and cant realize scale economies. Core competences for disintegrated value chain coordinators become core rigidities value capture requires competences at both edges of the chain

Why? The center explodes and atomizes hypercommoditization and value shifts to adjacent segments, because they can realize scale economies from the exploded centers output.

FEE for transactions that originate on the site. Many companies currently use Twitter as part of their customer service, watching for mentions of their company name. Angry tweets are opportunities to solve a problem; and tweets that praise the company are recognized by the brand, ultimately gaining them an advocate.

PINTEREST
Pinterest is the other notable social commerce platform, where images or videos are curated by users. Pinterest is a marketers dream, as these images can link back to the originating product page.

Community Marketplaces
Powerhouses like eBay, Amazon, and Etsy specialize in consumer to consumer sales, but also feature B2C sales. These sites encourage sharing, user reviews, public wish lists, and other forms of social sharing, turning purchases into a personal endorsement.

User Generated Reviews

Sites like Amazon, Yelp, and Foodspotting rely heavily on user reviews to create a rating system for products and establishments. By leaving their ratings, reviewers can earn rankings or badges, while directly influencing sales for the products or establishments being reviewed. Half of people aged 1834 rely on user generated content to make a decision purchase, and 83% of consumers rely on user generated content to make a decision about financial services.

Crowdfunding
Through sites like Kickstarter or IndieGoGo, consumers can directly fund the products or projects that they want to see created. Generally, higher level donations receive some sort of bonus for their help. Kickstarter projects must reach 100% of their goal to fund the creators, while IndieGoGo gives money to the creator projects even the project doesnt reach its goal. New sites such as Flattr, Patreon, and Tugboat Yards allow fans to pledge or sponsor their favorite creators via micropayments. This allows creators supplementary income in exchange for their podcasts, videos, or music.

Group Purchasing
Sites such as Groupon and Living Social were huge a few years ago, but have been on the decline recently. These sites offer reduced prices on products or packages if a certain number of users agree to buy the package being offered. These group purchasing sites has had a difficult time turning a long-term profit, so their future remains in doubt for now.

The maturation of online social commerce has opened the door to a new type of market research. This new form is rooted in the fluid world of social engagement, where customer product experience proves as challenging to MR as the transition from telephone to online. Coupling online measurement and rich user generated content challenges our notions of predictive analytics and the power of narratives. Embracing semantically empowered tools and behavioral metrics in a social commerce environment promises business insights that more easily connect with the rapidly changing world of contemporary commerce.
