HOW BUSINESSES ARE USING WEB 2.0 – A MCKINSEY GLOBAL SURVEY :
By and large, executives are satisfied with their previous investments in Internet technology, and most are investing in trends that promote automation and networking online.
More than three-fourths of executives who responded to a McKinsey survey say they plan to maintain or increase their investments in technology trends that encourage user collaboration, such as peer-to-peer networking, social networks, and Web services.
More than half say they are pleased with their past Internet investments, though some regret not boosting their own capabilities to exploit technology. More executives said they should have acted faster than slower.
