Tracing social influence in responses to strategy change in an online community

Interest into the effects of social influence on members of online communities is growing but there is a lack of knowledge about the impact of influential members in online communities on responses to strategy change within the wider community. We explore social influence in responses to strategy change through content analysis of forum posts before and after a change in strategy. Acceptance or non-acceptance of strategy change and subsequent positive and negative behavioural responses online are dependent on individual factors. The details of these behavioural responses to a change in strategy are tabulated and included in a conceptual model to inform decision-makers. Strategy change precipitates a reduction in social influence effects. Non-acceptance of strategy change is associated with competitor advertisement, inflammatory behaviour, offensive behaviour and complaints. This negative behaviour has important ramifications for acceptance of strategy change within the wider community and impacts on the viability of setting up online forums

2-[(3,5-Di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy­benz­yl)­sulfan­yl]-N′-isopropyl­ideneaceto­hydrazide

The title compound, C20H32N2O2S, the condensation product of a thio­acetohydrazine and acetone, has a two-coordinate S atom and the angle at this atom is 100.7 (1)°. The (CH3)C=N—NH—C(O)– substituent engages in N—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions with the substituent of an adjacent mol­ecule across a center of inversion, generating a dimeric structure

Informational business activity: Features of pricing and transformations of a network effect

This paper is devoted to an analysis of the information which has become one of the leading economic resources defining the logic of macroeconomic dynamics and competitiveness of the national economy. The features of pricing in the market of information products, and network market transformation mechanism under the influence of digitalization, the problems and the negative consequences of the information economy, the need for a new understanding of the industry dynamics in the network sector, and the network effects which has a positive feedback are presented. Upon a high level of development of modern information technologies a consumer is able to make a choice between traditional and non-traditional ways of providing information. With the variety of types of information that is predetermined by a wide range of consumers of information products and services representing a consumer and industrial demand, the bulk of a company's information products is consumed today by enterprises, not by individual users. Each producer solves a number of issues in the process of formation of prices for information products and services taking into account solvency of consumers, the market structure of the product and so on often relying on the uniqueness of these products and services (for example, an advantage on the database market in determining the level price, of course, belongs to those are unique). Value of qualitatively different information products (associated with such properties as relevance, usefulness, completeness, timeliness, accessibility, submission form, reliability, and so on) determines extensive use of all available means for achieving flexible prices (negotiated prices, margins for the novelty, markdowns, discounts, price concessions, and others.)
