consumers are progressively using social networking sites to look
for information regarding various products and services, instead of
relying on traditional methods such equally television receiver, radio, and maga-
zines etc. [one]. Every seventh person in the world now owns a Confront-
book profile and almost 4 in five Cyberspace users are associated
with at least one social media site. With the e'er-increasing number
of cyberspace and social media users, information technology has get inevitable for granda-
jor brands to empathise online customer beliefs. The emergence
of social media has led to a subsequent change in media consump-
tion which is pushing companies and organizations to adopt social

ane.ane. Social networks and social media
The term social network was kickoff coined to differentiate between
networks that were used for business purposes from those used for
socializing amongst people. The definition of social networking has
been extended to include grouping of individuals into specific
groups especially in workplace, universities and loftier schools, how-
always the most pop accustomed definition of social networks chroniclesouth
to the interactive websites which provides users with message
boards, chat rooms, and the ability to leave comments and have a
word with other people [3]. Alternatively social networks is
also referred to every bit a virtual community website that brings people
together to talk, share ideas and interests, or make friends. This type
of collaboration and sharing on social networking sites is known as
social media. Unlike traditional media that is typically created and
controlled by merely a bunch of people, the social media allows users
to share their opinions, views and encourages interactions and com-
munity building shaped past consumers [4].
The term "Social Media" has been derived from the words, "Social"
and "Media" which are discussed equally follows:

exchange of information characterized by the friendly companion-
ship or relations.
Media: the tergrand 'Media' refers to the instrument of the communi-
cation such equally radios, television, newspapers, magazines, internet
etc. that attain people widely.
And then we can say that social media is a web based social instrument of
communication that enables people to interact with each other by
both sharing and consuming data. Safko and Brake [5] ob-
served that social media is an umbrella term referring to activities,
practices, behaviors among communities of the peoples who gather
online to share and exchange data, knowledge and opinions

media relates to the sharing of information, experiencesouthward and per-
spectives through community oriented websites. Social media uses
web based technology to transform and circulate media mono-
logues into social media dialogues. Since final decade, social media

3. Proposed work
This section of the written report consists of defining the trouble argument
and giving the research objectives of our project.
3.1. Problem argument
The issue of social media on the company's reputation and the
brand edifice of its products needs to be studied in order to predict
the marketing and distribution programme of its products earlier their
launch. The posts on social networking sites further could be eval-
uated to go the feedback of their customers on its products that are
already in market.
3.ii. Research objectives
Based on the motivation and problem statement, nosotros take defined
the post-obit research objectives for the project:
Investigating the correlation betwixt worldwide sales made
past @SamsungMobile and their followers on twitter over past
5 years (2011-2016).
Understanding the touch of E-Marketing on various geo-
graphical regions past analyzing the spatial distribution of
@SamsungMobile Twitter followers.
To study the brand edifice achieved through Twitter past an-
alyzing the marketing outreach of @Samsung Mobile (i.east.
average visibility of tweets made by @Samsung Mobile).
To acquit sentiment analysis of the tweets fabricated past general
masses about @Samsung Mobile and its products, thereby,
gauging the inclination of its customers towards their prod-
ucts.
iv. Research methodology
This chapter provides an overview of methodology adopted to at-
tain our research objectives. The chapter starts westith a reason behind
choosing Twitter as the platform for conducting our study. The sec-
tions succeed with a brief description of sampling process used for
collecting the twitter data followed by the description of tool used
for analyzing same.
4.1. Why twitter?
Twitter is first-class for obtaining data for enquiry as information technology creates an
automatic database of information in existent time, which signifies that
as the data is archived it will become a unique source of historical
information. People tend to give their opinion on latest trends, politician-
itics, society, news and technologies in market place on Twitter in form
of tweets whereas on other major social networking sites such as
Facebook, Youtube and Instagram people tend to express their
views more frequently in the form of photographs and videos which are
difficult to analyze. That makes Twitter much more user-friendly op-
tion for analyzing the social media information. Moreover, the information availa-
ble on Twitter tin be hands accessed through its API.
4.ii. Sampling process
Everyday near 500 million tweets are made on Twitter which
makes information technology virtually impossible to study all of them. So, Sampling exist-
comes inevitable. In guild to carry out our research, we have used
Convenience Sampling, wherein, units are sampled because thursdayey
are convenient to obtain. In our case, nosotros relied on the tweets gath-
ered from Twitter API through NodeXL.
4.3. Node Forty
NodeXL is a set of already built class libraries using a custom Win-
dows Presentation Foundation command. NodeXL gives users the per-
mission to collect, analyze, and visualize a variety of networks
thereby providing easy admission to social media network data streams.
NodeXL too allows for quick collection of social media data using
a prepare of import tools that can collect information of network from various
social networking sites like Twitter, Flickr, and YouTube. NodeXL
fits into Microsoft Excel 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2016 and opens as
a workbook with a multifariousness of worksheets containing the elements
of a graph construction such as edges and nodes [13].
5. Results and analysis
In this department, the evaluation of the tweets and study of the geo-
graphical locations of the followers is carried out to fulfil the objec-
tives specified.

5.one. Samsung smartphone sales v/south @samsung mobile fol-
lowers on twitter
To investigate the correlation between sales made by @Samsung
Mobile and their followers on Twitter, i.e. the first objective of our
inquiry, we analysed the sales and acquirement data aslope the twit-
ter follower history of @Samsung Mobile, which is the official twit-
ter handle. The sales and revenue data was gathered from annua 50
reports published by Samsung from time to fourth dimension and various other
online statistics, market research and business intelligence portals
such as Statista.
Table 1: Quarterly Sales of Samsung Mobiles and No. of Followers
(2011-2016)
The twitter follower history of @Samsung Mobile westwardas gathered
from data available on internet sources like Social bakers.
The Table I presents the quarterly sales data of @Samsung Kobile
versus number of followers at that time.
Fig. 2: Graph Showing Increase in Sales with No. of Followers.
From the graph shown in Effigy Ii, it is clearly visible that the units
sold is increasing with respect to the increasing followers. This can
likewise be gauged past the correlation coefficient (0.8 app) which ways
that 80% of the variation is explained by the increment in followers.
five.two. Spatial distribution of @samsung mobile followers
To analyse the impact of social media/e-marketing done by @Sam-
sung Mobile on various geographical regions, nosotros took a sample [xiv]
of 5000 @Samsung Mobile agile followers and studied their spa-
tial distribution across various continents. The assay of spatial
distribution of @Samsung Mobile followers reveal the continents
where social media is nigh agile.
Fig. 3: Graph Showing the Spread of @Samsung Mobile Followers beyond
Continents and their Common Connections.
The in a higher place graph in Figure Three testifys all 5000 followers grouped by
continent and represented using Harel-Koren fast multi-scale layout
[16]. The links shown in the higher up graph shows the connectedness be-
tween various followers and @Samsung Mobile.
Fig. 4: Graph showing per centum Distribution of Followers.
The graph in Effigy 4 conspicuously depicts that Asian market leads westith
pct of users actively using social media platform followed
past Northward America. For testing the validity of the sample [xiv] distri-
bution, we applied z-test with post-obit null hypothesis (H0):
H0: 32 % of active users are from Asia i.due east. p=32% or p=0.32
Ha: Active users from Asia are not 32%, p≠0.32
p=0.32, q=0.68, p'=0.3114, north=5000, α=x%
= -1.30363 (one)
Since Ha is two-sided, nosotros shall determine the rejection region past
applying ii tailed Z test at 10 % level of significance [α=ten%].
|zα|>1.645
The observed value of |z| i.due east. 1.30363 is less than critical value of z
i.eastward. 1.645. Therefore, it is in acceptance region and as such, H0 is
accepted.
v.iii. Marketing outreach
To report the marketing outreach of @Samsung Mobile, nosotros ana-
lysed the average extent of penetration of thdue east tweets made by
@Samsung Mobile across the twitter population. As on December
2016, @Samsung Mobile had approximately 12 million (12012738
to be exhuman action) followers. Out of those, we took a sample [14] of 30200
followers and found that they had 336 followers on average; how-
ever, we are interested in population mean "µ" which tin be esti-
mated by following equation

µ=336±34
µ > 302
Therefore, the population hateful is at least 302; at least 302 followers
each farther follow i.eastward. every follower of @Samsung Mobile. Fur-
thermore, from this sample we inferred that every tweet by @Sam-
sung Mobile is retweeted by 1302 followers. And so total audience of a
tweet made by @Samsung Mobile can be calculated as:
12012738+1302*302 =12,405,942
Therefore, it can be inferred that tweet made past @Samsung Mobile
is visible to approximately 12.four million twitter users. This figure
becomes even more interesting when nosotros retrieve of the cost involved
in spreading sensation most any product using tweets (e-marketplace-
ing) as opposed to the corporeality of coin that would be required for
spreading awareness to aforementioned corporeality of people using conventional
methods like advertisements, sponsorships, flyers etc.
5.4. Sentiment analysis
In gild to find out the inclination of the customers of @Samsung-
Mobile towards their products, we conducted a sentiment analysis
on a sample [14] of 7740 tweets using NodeXL tool regarding the
Smartphones (Samsung A5, A7, JSeries, C9, On seven, On Nxt, On v,
On viii, S7, S7 Edge, S8) launched past Samsung in last one twelvemonth and
statistics shown in Tabular array Two were observed. From the results of sen-
timent analysis shown in Table Ii, the following observations were
made:
Out of 7740, approximately 75% of the tweets were neutral,
i.e. there were no positive or negative comments regarding
the products under consideration.
Of the remaining 25% of the tweets, approximately 68% of
the tweets carried positive sentiment/feedback with respect to
the products under consideration. These statistics clearly sig-
nifies the vital part played by e-marketing in edifice brand
names and spreading the awareness well-nigh the products.
The analysis also showed that 1.five% of the tweets made by the
general masses were regarding the purchase of the specified
products which justifies the above observations that people
not only get aware of the products merely are influenced plenty
to buy them and share their experiences on the sameast platform.

Post-obit are somdue east of the major points that could make our re-
search projection vulnerable to some questions:
The method used for sampling i.east. Convenience Sampling
can introduce sampling errors thereby; exactly aforementioned results
may not be accomplished for a different sample.
Some of the information points regarding follower history of @Sam-
sung Mobile has been calculated using interpolation.
Due to the data rate limiting policy imposed by Twitter on its
public API, analysis could only be made on recent tweets and
non on celebrated data.
7. Conclusion and future scope
In this project, nosotros performed an analysis on Twitter data of @Sam-
sung Mobile available from public twitters API to study the impact
of tweets related to @Samsung Mobile on its make building, cus-
tomer satisfaction of @Samsung Mobile products and its sales per
quarter. The findings and the results of our study clearly signifies
that social media marketing influences the building of brands every bit
well as influence the sales of the business. Moreover, the feedback
obtained from the customers in grade of tweets almost their products
further help to design the marketing strategy of their products.
This projection can be further enhanced to fetch like findings and
deductions for the other brands besides @Samsung Mobile. Too,
the data on which the analysis has been done in this study is recent
data, so, the project could be enhanced to exercise a detailed study on
previous years data in order to see the pattern and trends that has
been evolved with respect to consumer behaviour.

We present a multi-calibration layout algorithm for the aesthetic drawing of undirected graphs with straight-line edges. The algorithm is extremely fast, and is capable of drawing graphs of substantially lar- ger size than whatever other algorithm we are aware of. For example, the algorithm achieves optimal drawings of one thousand vertex graphs in about 2 seconds. The paper contains graphs with over 6000 nodes. The propo- sed algorithm embodies a new multi-scale scheme for cartoon graphs, which was motivated past the recently published multi-scale algorithm of Hadany and Harel (7). It can signicantly ameliorate the speed of essen- tially any force-directed method (regardless of that method's power of drawing weighted graphs or the continuity of its price-office).
