The purpose of this study is to contribute to the marketing literature and practice by describing a research methodology to identify latent dimensions of customer satisfaction in product reviews, and examining the relationship between these attributes and customer satisfaction. Previous research in product reviews has largely relied only on quantitative ratings, either stars or review score. Advanced techniques for text mining provide the opportunity to extract meaning from customer online reviews. By analyzing 51,110 online reviews for 1,610 restaurants via latent Dirichlet allocation, this study uncovers 30 latent dimensions that are determinants of customer satisfaction. Furthermore, this study developed measurements of sentiment and innovativeness as moderators of the effect of these latent attributes to satisfaction.
Companies use crowdsourcing to solve specific problems or to search for innovation. By using open innovation platforms, where community members propose ideas, companies can better serve customer needs. So far, it remains unclear which factors influence idea implementation in crowd sourcing context. With the research idea that we present here, we aim to get a better understanding of the success and failure of ideas by examining relationships between characteristics of ideators, characteristics of ideas and the likelihood of implementation. In order to test the methodological approach that we propose in this paper in which we investigate for business relevant innovativeness as well as sentiment based on text analytics, data including unstructured text was mined from Dell IdeaStorm using webcrawling and scraping techniques. Some relevant hypotheses that we define in this paper were confirmed on the Dell IdeaStorm dataset but in order to generalize our findings we want to apply to the Lego dataset in our current work in progress. Possible implications of our novel research idea can be used to fill theoretical gaps in marketing literature, help companies to better structure their search for innovation and for ideators to better understand factors contributing to successful idea generation.
