  3. Stochastic Cellular Automata • Complex systems modeling technique • Simulations of aggregate consequences based on local interactions between individual members of a population • Measures the impact of word of mouth, strong and weak ties, and advertisement on human behavior • Tracking the changing state of each individual

  4. 1) Weak ties 2) Beyond a relatively early stage of the process, the effect of external marketing efforts quickly diminishes and strong and weak ties become the main forces propelling the process

  5. 3) The effect of strong ties on the speed of information dissemination diminishes as personal network size decreases 4) As the number of weak ties contacts increases, the effect of strong ties decreases while the effect of weak ties increases$

  6. 5) As the level of advertising increases, the effect of strong ties increases while the effect of weak ties decreases

  17. ConclusionPersonal Critique • Doesnotconsider: • Personal judgement • Nature of the product or service • Nature of consumption of the product or service • Trust of each individual regardless of the nature of the tie • Similarity of individual’s values, beliefs and opinions to one’s own • Past experiences

  18. ConclusionProfessional Critique • Novel information is found in strong ties • Rapidly changing environment • New information from same source • Breadth of knowledge • Enables indefinite education from same source • If the whole population knows the same thing, human diversity doesn’t influence novelty Marshall Van Alstyne BA (Yale) , MS & PhD (MIT)
