<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Candara","sans-serif"">Social media is at the core of the so called “social commerce”, which represents a new form of “Internet-based social media that allows people to participate in the marketing, selling, comparing,
and buying of products and services in online marketplaces and communities” (</span><a href="#_ENREF_3" title="Stephen, 2010 #18881"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Candara","sans-serif";color:windowtext;text-decoration:none">Stephen & Toubia, 2010</span></a><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Candara","sans-serif"">,
p. 215). Driven by the widespread diffusion and adoption of social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as mobile devices, social commerce is expected to generate tremendous business value in terms of operational efficiency and improved revenues
in the incoming years. Some analysts estimated that the social commerce market will grow from about US$5 billion in 2011, to almost US$30 billion by 2016 (</span><a href="#_ENREF_4" title="Zhou, 2011 #18877"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Candara","sans-serif";color:windowtext;text-decoration:none">Zhou,
Zhang, et al., 2011</span></a><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Candara","sans-serif"">). In a McKinsey Global Institute report, the consulting firm foresaw that in 2012 only, “$900 billion to $1.3 trillion in annual value could be unlocked in just four
sectors by products and services that enable social interactions in the digital realm”. According to the same report, “[t]here’s no doubt organizations have begun to realize significant value from largely external uses of social[media]. Yet internal applications
have barely begun to tap their full potential, even though about two-thirds of social’s estimated economic value stems from improved collaboration and communication within enterprises. Although more than 80 percent of executives say their companies deploy
social technologies, few have figured out how to use them in ways that could have a large-scale, replicable, and measurable impact at an enterprise level” (</span><a href="#_ENREF_1" title="Chui, 2013 #21314"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Candara","sans-serif";color:windowtext;text-decoration:none">Chui,
Dewhurst, et al., 2013</span></a><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Candara","sans-serif"">, p. 1). While value co-creation from social media is emerging as an important field of research (</span><a href="#_ENREF_2" title="Fosso Wamba, 2013 #21320"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Candara","sans-serif";color:windowtext;text-decoration:none">Fosso
Wamba & Carter, 2013</span></a><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Candara","sans-serif"">), very few empirical studies have be devoted to how to actually co-create and capture value from social media.
