Produktbeschreibung
This book provides a solid understanding of electronic word of mouth (eWOM) by taking the reader through the process of information diffusion from rumour generation in times of traditional word of mouth (WOM) to negative social eWOM and examining how consumers process it.

Consumer Behaviour and Social Network Sites tackles different themes relating to negative eWOM. Drawing on both intensive scientific research and professional examples, it bridges the gap between the academic and professional worlds. The book contrasts negative social eWOM to traditional WOM while discussing the specificities of different social networking sites in diffusing such information. It looks at why and how consumers decide to create, share and react to negative social eWOM, suggesting that there are more reasons than are commonly presumed for consumers to articulate themselves on these platforms. It also provides an appreciation of web users' behaviours with regards to negative social eWOM and how it can alter their decision-making journey.

The book concludes with several strategies and key takeaways to deal with and prevent negative social eWOM. Most books on WOM are purely professional and lack the theoretical contextualization of the issue. Moreover, they often provide insights on brand-to-consumer conversation but not consumer-to-consumer (C2C) communication. This short book provides marketing academics, students and practitioners with an important insight into these C2C communications that can potentially be harmful to brands.

Rezensionen
"The effect of positive and negative word of mouth is a major player in an offline or online brand's reputation.
While many academic studies have paid much interest in positive word of mouth, this book highlights the importance of studying negative word of mouth in social media contexts.
Being amongst the few to contextualize NEWOM in academic literature, this book adds value to today's social media communications studies.
It is highly recommended to academics and professionals who wish to gain in-depth understanding on the topic." - Ghalia Boustani, Ph.D. Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne

"Consumer Behaviour and Social Networks is a powerful and timely investigation that offers captivating insights into the workings of the human mind on a subject still unexplored and unknown to many: Why do consumers take on social networks to spread negative word of mouth about brands?

As a global marketer, this compelling research has opened my eyes as to better understanding the underlying reasons consumers choose to voice and spread negative reactions on social networks but more importantly how it can be avoided.

Dr. Sarah Zaraket's detailed studies and results are told in engaging ways of storytelling which makes it relatable and delightful to read. This book should be an essential reading and guide for all marketing professionals, business owners but most importantly consumers." - Janane Haddad, Marketing Manager, Compagnie Financière Richemont SA
