"Social Media Understanding and Small Data"

With big data analysis and marketing analysis the new popular kids on the block, who is going to speak in praise of small data? Almost before it began, netnography became irrelevant. Or did it? It all begins with an understanding of the nature of understanding. In this presentation, Robert Kozinets asks his audience to consider the nature of data, information, intelligence, and insight, and the role of understanding in all of these critical marketing pursuits. Overviewing the nature and role of both ethnography and netnography in an age of shifting consumer practices and management impressions, this presentation questions not only what managers and academics are doing with consumer data, but more importantly, why they are doing it.
