Exploring Corporate Reputation based on Sentiment Polarities That Are Related to Opinions in Dutch Online Reviews

This research demonstrates the power and robustness of the vocabulary method by Hernández-Rubio et al. (2019) for aspect extraction from online review data. We showcase that this algorithm not only works on the English language based on the CoreNLP toolkit, but also extend it on the Dutch language, specifically with aid of the Frog toolkit. Results on sampled datasets for three different retailers show that it can be used to extract fine-grained aspects that are relevant to acquire corporate reputation insights.

Decision Support System for corporate reputation based social media listening using a cross-source sentiment analysis engine

This paper presents a Decision Support System (DSS) that helps companies with corporate reputation (CR) estimates of their respective brands by collecting provided feedbacks on their products and services and deriving state-of-the-art key performance indicators. A Sentiment Analysis Engine (SAE) is at the core of the proposed DSS that enables to monitor, estimate, and classify clients’ sentiments in terms of polarity, as expressed in public comments on social media (SM) company channels. The SAE is built on machine learning (ML) text classification models that are cross-source trained and validated with real data streams from a platform like Trustpilot that specializes in user reviews and tested on unseen comments gathered from a collection of public company pages and channels on a social networking platform like Facebook. Such crosssource opinion analysis remains a challenge and is highly relevant in the disciplines of research and engineering in which a sentiment classifier for an unlabeled destination domain is assisted by a tagged source task (Singh and Jaiswal, 2022). The best performance in terms of F1 score was obtained with a multinomial naive Bayes model: 0,87 for validation and 0,74 for testing.

Re-organise: Game-Based Learning of Circular Business Model Innovation

This study furthers game-based learning for circular business model innovation (CBMI), the complex, dynamic process of designing business models according to the circular economy principles. The study explores how game-play in an educational setting affects learning progress on the level of business model elements and from the perspective of six learning categories. We experimented with two student groups using our game education package Re-Organise. All students first studied a reader and a game role description and then filled out a circular business model canvas and a learning reflection. The first group, i.e., the game group, updated the canvas and the reflection in an interactive tutorial after gameplay. The control group submitted their updated canvas and reflection directly after the interactive tutorial without playing the game. The results were analyzed using text-mining and qualitative methods such as word co-occurrence and sentiment polarity. The game group created richer business models (using more waste processing technologies) and reflections with stronger sentiments toward the learning experience. Our detailed study results (i.e., per business model element and learning category) enhance understanding of game-based learning for circular business model innovation while providing directions for improving serious games and accompanying educational packages.

An analytical approach towards sustainability-centered guidelines for Dutch primary school building design

Societal one-way directed approaches of sustainable primary school building design cause persistent physical building problems. It affects the performances of the societal challenge of designing real sustainable school buildings, as well as the educational and social processes, and its end-user performances. Conventional building construction approaches build traditionally their designs on a syntheses of dialogues and consensus during decision-making processes, due to a variety of different interests. Principals define their ambitions and requirements into a team of mainly technical domain related disciplines. There are no design methods available that connect human systems and ecosystems integrated and balance the dynamic multi-level scaled mechanisms of human needs and sustainability development factors. The presented analytic framework recognizes similarity patterns between these multi-level scaled social systems, ecosystems and sustainable development entities, qualitatively as well as quantitatively. It delivers a new polarity based dynamic system that contributes to the client briefs and physical building morphological factors from a more sustainable development base. This theoretical approach establishes Sustainability-Centered Guidelines for primary schools (SCGs) design and building.

Sentiment polarity classification of corporate review data with a bidirectional Long-Short Term Memory (biLSTM) neural network architecture

A considerable amount of literature has been published on Corporate Reputation, Branding and Brand Image. These studies are extensive and focus particularly on questionnaires and statistical analysis. Although extensive research has been carried out, no single study was found which attempted to predict corporate reputation performance based on data collected from media sources. To perform this task, a biLSTM Neural Network extended with attention mechanism was utilized. The advantages of this architecture are that it obtains excellent performance for NLP tasks. The state-of-the-art designed model achieves highly competitive results, F1 scores around 72%, accuracy of 92% and loss around 20%.
