    Probabilistic Forecasting in Decision-Making: New Methods and Applications

    Probabilistic Forecasting in Decision-Making: New Methods and Applications Xiaojia Guo A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of University College London. UCL School of Management University College London November 10, 2020 2 I, Xiaojia Guo, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indi- cated in the work. 3 To my family for their invaluable support throughout the years. Abstract This thesis develops new methods to generate probabilistic forecasts and applies these methods to solve operations problems in practice. The first chapter introduces a new product life cycle model, the tilted-Gompertz model, which can predict the distribution of period sales and cumulative sales over a product’s life cycle. The tilted-Gompertz model is developed by exponential tilting the Gompertz model, which has been widely applied in modelling human mortality. Due to the tilting parameter, this new model is flexible and capable of describing a wider range of shapes compared to existing life cycle models. In two empirical studies, one on the adoption of new products and the other on search interest in social networking websites, I find that the tilted-Gompertz model performs well on quantile forecast- ing and point forecasting, when compared to other leading life-cycle models. In the second chapter, I develop a new exponential smoothing model that can cap- ture life-cycle trends. This new exponential smoothing model can also be viewed as a tilted-Gompertz model with time-varying parameters.

Social media uses web-based technologies to turn communication into interactive dialogues. Andreas Kaplan and Michael Haenlein define social media as "a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, which allows the creation and exchange of user-generated content."[1] Businesses also refer to social media as consumer-generated media (CGM). Social media utilization is believed to be a driving force in defining the current time period as the Attention Age. A common thread running through all definitions of social media is a blending of technology and social interaction for the co-creation of value. Distinction from industrial media People gain information, education, news, etc., by electronic media and print media. Social media are distinct from industrial or traditional media, such as newspapers, television, and film. They are relatively inexpensive and accessible to enable anyone (even private individuals) to publish or access information, compared to industrial media, which generally require significant resources to publish information.

    The Social Media Blackbook for Photographers

    The Social Media Blackbook for Photographers Last revision: Jan 30, 2015 By Eric Kim So why did I start to write this book? Well, I think I have been blessed with “skills” in social media– and I wanted to put together all the information I personally knew regarding social media (in order to help my fellow photographers). Here is a brief outline of what topics I wish to cover in the book: Chapter 1: Why social media? Chapter 2: What is social media? Chapter 3: The importance of creating value in social media Chapter 4: How to gain more followers Chapter 5: The importance of engagement in social media Chapter 6: Common mistakes in social media Chapter 7: Social media strategies, tips, techniques Chapter 8: Conclusion Chapter 1: Why social media? So the first question you might be thinking to yourself is this: why is social media relevant and how can it help me as a photographer? Honestly at the end of the day– you don’t really “need” social media. Social media is just another way to publish your work, market yourself as a photographer, and to get your work out there, get recognized, and get people to follow you. I have been fascinated with social media the last 10 years of my life– ever since I was 16 years old and started my first “blog” on Xanga. I was fascinated by the idea that I could write down my thoughts and share it with (potentially) millions of people out there. My thoughts have changed and evolved regarding social media over the years.

    Facebook: an Analysis of Selected Central Photos in Fifty States

    1 Alcohol, Sex and Illegal Activities: An Analysis of Selected Facebook Central Photos in Fifty States Literature Review Social networking sites are a relatively recent phenomenon that allows for the electronic socialization of friends via an online medium. Numerous sites including Friendster, Hot or Not, MySpace, Xanga, Facebook, etc. are hosts to social networking and all are similar in structure. Kendall (2002) likens online public communities to textual virtual realities that give people the “feeling of being present together in a social space” (p. 5). In fact, according to Kendall (2002), the online spaces that provide forums for social networking can also be viewed as physical spaces because pictures and video clips of other people and places are often included and can be seen by remote users and when users connect to these sites, “they in some sense enter a social, if not a physical, space” (p. 6). The basic premise of social networking sites is the allowance for profile posting that connects via links with friends on the system and because the nature of this type of electronic communication is asynchronous, it is alluring to teens and young adults, whose primary electronic mode of conversation with friends is instant messaging (boyd, 2006). Facebook, a free social networking service developed in 2004 and originally designed for college students (but has since been expanded to include high schools) is now operating at over 2000 universities in primarily English-speaking countries across the world and has nearly 5.9 million users (Buckman, 2005). Essentially, Facebook is an electronic forum in which students (also faculty, alumni, and employers) share photos and personal information, gossip, join groups of friends, and flirt with one another 2 (Buckman, 2005).

    RESEARCH ARTICLE THE NEEDS–AFFORDANCES–FEATURES PERSPECTIVE FOR THE USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA Elena Karahanna MIS Department, Terry College of Business, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602 U.S.A. {[email protected]} Sean Xin Xu Research Center for Contemporary Management, Key Research Institute of Humanities and Social Sciences at Universities, School of Economics and Management, Tsinghua University, Beijing, CHINA {[email protected]} Yan Xu Department of Information Systems, Business Statistics and Operations Management, Business School, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong, CHINA {[email protected]} Nan (Andy) Zhang Department of Management Science and Engineering, School of Management, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin, CHINA {[email protected]} Appendix A Motivation–Need Theories Table A1 summarizes the major motivation-needs perspectives from psychology1 and shows how the innate psychological needs derived from self-determination (SDT) and psychological ownership (POT) theories map to the needs identified in other motivation-needs perspectives. Given that the focus of our study is on innate psychological needs, Table A1 also classifies these theories in terms of their focus on psychological versus physiological needs and on innate versus learned needs. Three major theoretical perspectives were identified. Maslow’s (1938) hierarchy of needs theory is the most comprehensive in terms of capturing human needs—both physiological and psychological. He classifies needs in a hierarchy of five categories. From the bottom up, these are physiological (e.g., food, water), safety (e.g., security of body, family, property), love/belonging (e.g., friendship, family), esteem (e.g., a “lower” version of external esteem such as a need for status, recognition, prestige and attention, and a “higher” version of internal esteem such as a need for achievement, confidence, independence, and freedom), and self-actualization (e.g., morality, creativity).
