[AISWorld] CFP: AMCIS Mini-track on Social Media Analytics

[Nevo, Dorit]

Call for Paper: AMCIS Mini-track ­ Social Media Analytics

As social media becomes a standard communication and collaboration platform, large amounts of data are generated and publicly available on various platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, blogs, wikis and more. As with other forms of big data a key question to address is how this data can be used to learn about individual and social behaviors, how predictions can be made on various indicators based on social media data, and how can we apply these data to impact platform design and organizational performance. For this mini track on social media analytics we are interested in high quality empirical and conceptual work that addresses these and other related questions.
