IBM sat down to talk one-on-one with 1,700 CEO's in 64 countries to discuss changes in how they do business. Right now, social media came in dead last but it’s expected to climb to the second spot in the coming years. At a glance, I would say that these results relate to B2B companies, but the report doesn’t say one way or the other. I understand B2B being heavily face-to-face.
