Assistant Professor Christian Barrot, newly appointed at the KLU
The KLU has scheduled four inaugural lectures over three months. One newly appointed Assistant Professor is Dr. Christian Barrot who gave a lecture on the topic “Did they tell their friends? – Using social network analysis to detect contagion processes”. Sounds difficult – and is difficult and that had nothing to do with the circumstance that the presentation over approx 60 minutes – and in addition 30 minutes scheduled for discussion – was held in English language. Social contagion processes such as word-of-mouth are key factors for the successful launch of a product. But it is difficult to find conclusive evidence of such effects in network-level studies. Christian Barrot has observed and analyzed anonymous custumer data from a telecom provider which consisted of a high number of customers and phone calls.
