3. Individuals, their Choices, and the Society Dr. Nazrul I Shaikh
Marketing Engineering
You can you measures someone’s preferences from the choices that they make. Then
How can you systematically influence/cater to his/her choices?
How do you develop a marketing strategy for your product or services?
How can you leverage the social media for prediction and forecasting
Example Projects:
Quantifying how the public sentiments are evolving using Twitter and Google Trends data
Developing an optimal digital marketing strategy for a Social Cause
Social Networks
One can measure how your friends and family, or strangers influence your opinions and choices. Then
How do opinions, ideas, and choices spread in a networked society?
How can you leverage what you know about individual and group behavior for developing a strategy?
Example Projects:
Sampling and the Multi-Armed Bandit
Seeding-As a marketer, who should you give free samples to?
