  • The Social Economy
    McKinsey Global Institute McKinsey Global Institute The social economy: Unlocking value and productivity through social technologies social through productivity and value Unlocking economy: The social July 2012 The social economy: Unlocking value and productivity through social technologies The McKinsey Global Institute The McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), the business and economics research arm of McKinsey & Company, was established in 1990 to develop a deeper understanding of the evolving global economy. Our goal is to provide leaders in the commercial, public, and social sectors with the facts and insights on which to base management and policy decisions. MGI research combines the disciplines of economics and management, employing the analytical tools of economics with the insights of business leaders. Our “micro-to-macro” methodology examines microeconomic industry trends to better understand the broad macroeconomic forces affecting business strategy and public policy. MGI’s in-depth reports have covered more than 20 countries and 30 industries. Current research focuses on six themes: productivity and growth; the evolution of global financial markets; the economic impact of technology and innovation; urbanization; the future of work; and natural resources. Recent reports have assessed job creation, resource productivity, cities of the future, and the impact of big data. MGI is led by three McKinsey & Company directors: Richard Dobbs, James Manyika, and Charles Roxburgh. Susan Lund serves as director of research. Project teams are led by a group of senior fellows and include consultants from McKinsey’s offices around the world. These teams draw on McKinsey’s global network of partners and industry and management experts. In addition, leading economists, including Nobel laureates, act as research advisers.

  • Awesomeness 01 BE YOU 1
    cre 11 Se ts to Awesomeness 01 BE YOU 1 BE YOU It’s easier to run your Twitter account if you can just be yourself. Of course if you are tweeting on behalf of a brand and there are several of you working on managing Twitter, it’s sometimes hard to be a “person” on Twitter. Big brands like Coca-Cola or McDonalds especially can’t realistically expect to have only one person represent their Twitter account. But smaller businesses (like ours - Top Left Design - @topleftdesign) d o benefit from having their REAL name along with their Twitter name. Some examples: www.twitter.com/B3Creative (real name James Marsh) www.twitter.com/StartLicensing (real name Ian Downes) www.twitter.com/Minervity (real name Richard Darell) www.twitter.com/PlainTalkingHR (real name Bina Briggs) www.twitter.com/mashable (real name Pete Cashmore) Or you can have a Twitter name that represents your name or nickname and also have your real name: www.twitter.com/gina_romero (Gina Romero) www.twitter.com/grattongirl (Sarah-Jayne Gratton) www.twitter.com/lorimcneeartist (Lori Mcnee) www.twitter.com/MamaBritt (Britt Michaelian) 02 USE YOUR FACE 2 YOUR PICTURE Your picture should be a cropped picture of your face. No point in having a full length as it shows up as a thumbnail on people’s Twitter feeds, and on their phone apps. So, you want to be recognisable. Also, surveys have shown that people prefer a picture of a face to a logo or a cartoon avatar. 03 DON’T JUST TWEET ABOUT YOURSELF The whole time.

Design/methodology/approach – A total of 411 Tinder users’ reactions were obtained and analyzed using text mining to compute the sentiment score of each response, and a Kruskal–Wallis H test to verify if there are statistical differences between each generation. Findings – The results showed positive acceptability toward the marketing campaign on Tinder, especially Z Generation. Nevertheless, the statistical analysis revealed that the differences between each generation are not statistically significant. Research limitations/implications – The main limitation relates to the fact that the participants, during the data collection, revealed their identification, perhaps leading to acquiescence bias.
