Abstract
Social media has become a part of life for a larger segment of the people globally. Businesses are also taking advantage of it, to instantly and easily create and share information with the customers and get benefited from this seamless communication. As a result of the increase in both social media platforms and users, the need to monitor, extract, analyse and report the data being created on these platforms has also increased for the Businesses. Present work identifies the social media analytics (SMA) process and online retail application; it identifies the different phases of the SMA process with their integration to the online retail strategy, challenges, and opportunities. SMA metrics for customer life-cycle (acquisition to enhancement) are discussed. A comparative analysis has been presented for different SMA tools to identify their utility to the online retail.
期刊介绍:
The advances in distributed computing and networks make it possible to link people, heterogeneous service providers and physically isolated services efficiently and cost-effectively. As the economic dynamics and the complexity of service operations continue to increase, it becomes a critical challenge to leverage information technology in achieving world-class quality and productivity in the production and delivery of physical goods and services. The IJSOI, a fully refereed journal, provides the primary forum for both academic and industry researchers and practitioners to propose and foster discussion on state-of-the-art research and development in the areas of service operations and the role of informatics towards improving their efficiency and competitiveness.
