Abstract:
Online firestorms pose a serious threat to companies and cause spontaneous information asymmetry between companies and social media users, which is part of the principal-agent theory. Corporate crisis management has already developed strategies to deal with firestorms, but these strategies are more effective if the company identifies a firestorm at an early stage. Therefore, we first identify literature-based characteristics of firestorms and quantify these using data-driven features in a multiple-case study approach based on Twitter data. Secondly, we identify per case the beginning of the firestorm and days with the least fluctuation in the number of posts as reference days. Finally, we compare the features between the starting points and the reference days to determine which features are significantly different.
