NETNOGRAPHY WHY you should listen to online conversations

WHY you should LISTEN to ONLINE CONVERSATIONS MARKETS are CONVERSATIONS CONSUMERS are EMPOWERED CONSUMERS are CREATIVE COMMUNITIES are EVERYWHERE COMMUNITIES are TRIBES

MARKETS are CONVERSATIONS Information Product Seeking reviews WOM Buying Decisions Complaints Recommendations Brand Ambassadors ONLINE enables CONVERSATIONS that were NOT POSSIBLE BEFORE See: The Cluetrain Manifesto: The End of Business as Usual, by Christopher Locke, Rick Levine, und Doc Searls

CONSUMERS are EMPOWERED creative & smart create knowledge create media create stars create brands powerful vs. fight brands criticize brands support b(r)ands own brands critical & innovative discuss/review products unmask product lies co-create products modify/create products SOCIAL MEDIA supports KNOWLEDGE, CREATIVITY & POWER

CONSUMERS are CREATIVE VARIOUS INNOVATIONS developed at first by CREATIVE CONSUMERS Several studies document the innovative potential of consumers Herstatt & von Hippel 1992; von Hippel 1986; 2001; Shah 2000; Franke & Shah 2001; Franke 2001; Lüthje 2001; Thomke & von Hippel 2002; ...

NETNOGRAPHY HOW we see netnography and research 2.0

NETNOGRAPHY: context and theoretical touchpoints METHODOLOGY content analysis and text mining METHODOLOGY METHODOLOGY ethnography and narrative interviews observational research and storytelling THEORY THEORY virtual communities grounded theory and and consumer tribes cultural anthropology THEORY open innovation and co-creation

NETNOGRAPHY: our understanding NETNOGRAPHY [interNET & ethNOGRAPHY] is a QUALITATIVE and EXPLORATIVE research approach to analyze the CONSUMER DIALOGUE in ONLINE COMMUNITIES in order to gain UNBIASED CONSUMER INSIGHTS. The EMPATHIC and NON-OBTRUSIVE online OBSERVATION and LISTENING allows a DEEP UNDERSTANDING of explicitly verbalized and implicitly existing NEED- and SOLUTION-INFORMATION of highly INVOLVED CONSUMERS. NETNOGRAPHY is a great approach for consumer-centric (open) INNOVATION and COCREATION. Conducted by INTERDISCIPLINARY project teams of RESEARCHERS and DESIGNERS the derived insights are directly TRASNFERED into initial PRODUCT SOLUTIONS for the EARLY STAGES of the innovation process. Systematic LISTENING to online CONVERSATIONS of highly involved CONSUMERS

NETNOGRAPHY: interNET & ethNOGRAPHY foreign cultures ethnography urban subcultures trendscouting modern consumer tribes nethnography MODERN CONSUMER TRIBES can be observed within ONLINE COMMUNITIES

NETNOGRAPHY: observation and listening observe-and-listen research unobtrusive explorative Less-biased Fresher Insight Insight FRESHER & LESS-BIASED INSIGHTS with NETNOGRAPHY

NETNOGRAPHY: qualitative research understanding UNDERSTANDING READING before before MEASURING COUNTING INDUCTIVE DETAILED before before DEDUCTIVE AGGREGATED Real CONSUMER UNDERSTANDING requires INDUCTIVE RESEARCH and CONTEXT

NETNOGRAPHY: explorative research design testing research explorative research  pre-structured study designs  flexible study designs  deductive research approach  inductive research approach  sequential research process  circular research process

NETNOGRAPHY: deep understanding („Thick Descriptions“) In anthropology and other fields, a “thick description” of a human behavior is one that explains not just the behavior, but its context as well, such that the behavior becomes meaningful to an outsider. Exploring the DIFFERENCES between a TWITCH and a WINK WORDS & STORIES tell more than NUMBERS Interpreting SIGNS to gain their MEANING within the COMMUNITY Geertz, Clifford. "Thick Description: Toward an Interpretive Theory of Culture". In The Interpretation of Cultures: Selected Essays. (New York: Basic Books, 1973) 3-30.

TanSweetHrt4Hi Source: www.iamtan.com Challenge of De-Tanning Q: I know we talked about this a little while ago, but I tried using nail polish remover to make sure the corners of my nails didn't get orange, but it didn't work. Normally I just clip my nails really short so if there is discoloration you can't really tell that much, but it's really starting to bug me. The nail polish remover is acetone free... does that make a difference? Source: www.iamtan.com Jamie A
