A CROSS-PLATFORM MARKET STRUCTURE ANALYSIS METHOD USING ONLINE PRODUCT REVIEWS
提出一种基于多属性群决策的跨平台市场结构分析方法，整合不同电商平台的手机评论，更全面反映市场，并通过中国三大电商平台的手机评论案例验证有效性。
Studies have shown that online product reviews can indicate the position of a competitive brand. Even though reviews on different platforms may express different opinions, most studies are based on only one platform. This may lead to an inaccurate analysis of market structure. To solve this problem, we develop a novel market structure analysis based on multi-attribute group decision-making which can integrate reviews from different platforms. Multiple platforms more comprehensively reflect the market than single platforms do. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we conduct a case study of mobile phone reviews across three top e-commerce platforms in China. In addition, we propose a process to generate priorities for product-attribute improvements using a cross-platform market structure analysis method. Our experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
