INFLUENCE OF CONTENT ON THE ENGAGEMENT OF CONSUMERS IN RELATIONS WITH THE BRAND IN SOCIAL NETWORKS. TRADITIONAL ADVERTISING MODELS AND MODERN RESEARCHES, THEORY ANALYSIS AND IDENTIFICATION OF GAPS

This study qualitatively explores the embeddedness of the innovation process of South African microbusinesses by investigating how small local entrepreneurs in the Greater Johannesburg area utilise their social networks to source entrepreneurial value. A comparative grounded theory analysis enabled the original conceptualisation of Network Diversity Structure and formulates the central proposition that the network dimensions of diversity and closeness enable the innovation process among manufacturing microbusinesses more so than in service microbusinesses. Furthermore, the study proposes that both a structural and relational/experiential dimension of closeness, enables micro-entrepreneurs to create meaning and knowledge collaboratively with other entrepreneurs and actors. This socially facilitated process of exchanging ideas, information, and resources is central to the innovation process of firms traditionally limited by both their size and historical social institutions.

Novel Algorithm

Social Networks are best represented as complex interconnected graphs. Graph theory analysis can hence be used for insight into various aspects of these complex social networks. Privacy of such networks lately has been challenged and a detailed analysis of such networks is required. This paper applies key graph theory concepts to analyze such social networks. Moreover, it also discusses applications and proposal of a novel algorithm to analyze and gather key information from terrorist social networks. Investigative Data Mining is used for this which is defined as when Social Network Analysis (SNA) is applied to Terrorist Networks to gather useful insights about the network..

Insight Into

Most of the research on the implications of mobile communication for social networks has focused on its uses and consequences in the intimate realm of close friends, family, and loved ones. A number of scholars have also become interested in ways that mobile communication helps and hinders the broader realm of network connectivity, including diverse, weak, and new ties. A collection of theoretical perspectives on mobile communication and diverse, weak, and new ties proposes that heightened connectivity in the intimate realm can come at the expense of being engaged more broadly – a scenario I characterize as network privatism. At the same time, the available empirical research in the literature tends to tell a different story, or rather stories. This analysis brings theory and empirical findings into closer conversation with one another by reviewing and synthesizing the literature in this area. Observed patterns in the literature offer new insight into questions of mobile communication and network privatism, while also pointing to opportunities for refinement of theory, analysis, and measurement as this line of inquiry further develops.
