Business Applications of Social Networks Analysis and Mining

Springer Verlag Book - Intelligent Systems Reference Library

Editor: dr. Jerzy Surma (Warsaw School of Economics)

Introduction

In recent years, social network research has advanced significantly, thanks to the prevalence of the online social websites and the availability of a variety of offline large-scale social network systems. In this context on-line social networks have generated great expectations as they relate to their potential business value. Researchers are increasingly interested in addressing a wide range of business challenges residing in these network systems, including applying advanced knowledge discovery (data mining) algorithms for analyzing the static and dynamic (temporal) properties during the formation and evolution of these social networks. Those issues have a significant impact on value creation in companies, and have important implications for new business models, customer relationship management, strategy development, organizational management, and so on..

We especially welcome papers (book chapters) that address the following issues:

• Business models for monetizing social networks
• Competing with social networks
• Reality mining for business applications
• Social network analysis for organizational behavior research
• Customer referrals and purchase influence analysis in social networks
• Creating digital marketing strategy with social networks
• Consumer behavior and behavioral analysis in social networks
