Dipl.-Wi.-Inf. Frederik Zeidler

Research interests

I am interested in the part of company value and performance attributable to intangible assets in particular brand equity and corporate reputation. In order to examine this portion I focus on large scale data analyses of text corpora i.e. larger than several hundred billion words. In this context the assessed drivers are typically awareness, associations and sentiment referring to the trademarks owned by the corresponding companies. Further I am part of the research project “How do online opinions impact companies?” and examine opinion generation and diffusion in social media and its impact on companies and traditional news. Thereby I am focusing on the emergence of aggregated opinions and the interactions between individuals, companies and media.
