This paper explores the performance impacts and benefits of the adoption of Social Enterprise Software (SES). SES forms a nested innovation, given that its adoption requires an already established infrastructure of Information and Communication Technology. To control for induced sample selection, we use a two-step estimation procedure. Based on German firm-level data our results confirm that firms which use business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce applications are more likely to adopt SES. The estimated correlations also provide weak evidence for complementarity between B2B e-commerce and SES. We show that two measures of firm performance, i.e. sales and labor productivity, are highest for firms using SES and B2B e-commerce applications in conjunction. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.
