Opinion Leadership and Social Contagion in New Product Diffusion
TLDR
There is evidence of contagion operating over network ties, even after controlling for marketing effort and arbitrary systemwide changes, and sociometric and self-reported measures of leadership are weakly correlated and associated with different kinds of adoption-related behaviors.
Network Interventions
TLDR
In this Review, four strategies for network interventions are described, each of which has multiple tactical alternatives and can incorporate different mathematical algorithms.
Social network thresholds in the diffusion of innovations
Identifying Opinion Leaders to Promote Behavior Change
TLDR
10 techniques used to identify opinion leaders to promote behavior change are reviewed and the advantages and disadvantages of the 10 methods are presented and sample instruments for each are provided.
The stability of centrality measures when networks are sampled
