1. Introduction

Over the past decade, media has witnessed a huge transformation,

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

media every bit i of their marketing strategies and public relation tools

[2]. Therefore, social grandedia has go an increasingly familiar

platform employed in E-Commerce to market services and re-

sources to current and prospective customers.

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:

Social: the term 'Social' refers to interacting with other people for

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

using communicational media. According to Weinberg [6] social

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

has evolved from being a uncomplicated advice hub to an agent of

change, which has eastffected every 24-hour interval to day activeness of humans and

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

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).
