Social media analytics for innovation management research: A systematic literature review and future research agenda
系统综述了社交媒体分析在创新管理研究中的应用现状,发现该方法仍处于新兴阶段但日益流行,为学者提供了增强客户、市场、技术和社会导向创新研究的新机会,并提出了未来研究议程。
New trends in innovation management may require new research methods. Social media analytics (SMA)—a method for capturing and analyzing data from user-generated content published on online platforms—has emerged as a complement or even alternative to more traditional research methods. This article systematically reviews and assesses the use of SMA and its potential for innovation management research. Our results show that use of SMA is still in an emergent phase, although it has become increasingly popular over the past decade. Our literature review illustrates that SMA provides new opportunities for innovation management scholars to enhance customer-, market-, technology-, and society-focused innovation research in several ways. In this paper we develop a research agenda and suggest areas for future research using SMA in innovation management.
