Thesis (Ph.D.)--Northwestern University, 2011.

Published research in this new and emerging area has mainly addressed how Online Word of Mouth (OWOM) links to firm performance. The main objective of this dissertation is to add to this extant literature by providing a framework to investigate the time-varying roles played by the content of both OWOM and advertising on firm performance (chapter 1), to understand differences across geographic markets in their responsiveness to OWOM and advertising measures (chapter 2), and to understand how online reviews affect the optimal pricing strategy of a firm (chapter 3).

520 $a Published research in this new and emerging area has mainly addressed how Online Word of Mouth (OWOM) links to firm performance. The main objective of this dissertation is to add to this extant literature by providing a framework to investigate the time-varying roles played by the content of both OWOM and advertising on firm performance (chapter 1), to understand differences across geographic markets in their responsiveness to OWOM and advertising measures (chapter 2), and to understand how online reviews affect the optimal pricing strategy of a firm (chapter 3).
520 $a Chapter 1 is in the context of cell phones. The first key finding is that only recommendation related online conversations has a direct impact on sales. Moreover, this impact increases over time. On the other hand, the impact of both Attribute Advertising and Emotion Advertising is the greatest when the product is new and decreases as the product starts to mature. The second insight is that when the product is new, attribute related conversations is the key driver of Recommendation OWOM whereas as the product starts to mature the emotion related conversations become the dominant driver.
520 $a Chapter 2 is in the context of the U.S. motion-picture industry. The identification strategy uses the variation in box-office performance across markets to estimate movie fixed effects (that "absorb" the "average" effects of blogs across markets) and deviations (from the average effect) of the effects of blogs across markets, while controlling for other observed and unobserved factors that influence local-market box-office performance. Then the average blog and advertising effects are recovered by regressing the movie fixed effects on market invariant factors such as blogs, pre-release national advertising, etc., while using instrumental variables to deal with the correlated unobservables problem.
520 $a Chapter 3 uses a game-theoretic approach to model the role of online reviews in deriving a firm's optimal pricing strategy. There are two main finding from the analyses. First, an increase in the proportion of satisfaction OWOM content may lead to higher firm profit and faster new product diffusion. Second, there is a moderating effect of the correlations in the preferences between OWOM senders and receivers.
