Cus- tomers could write an email or call a service center if they had questions or problems with a product or service. In recent times, this has changed dramatically as companies explore new channels to offer customer service. With the increasing popularity of social media, more companies thrive to provide customer service also over Facebook and Twitter. Companies aim to provide a better customer ex- perience by offering more convenient channels to contact a company. In addition, this unburdens traditional channels which are costly to maintain. This paper empirically evaluates the performance of customer service in social media by analysing a multitude of companies in the airline industry. We have collected several million customer service requests from Twitter and Facebook and auto- matically analyzed how efficient the service strategies of the respective companies are in terms of response rate and time.","lang":"eng"}],"editor":[{"first_name":"Norbert","last_name":"Ritter","full_name":"Ritter, Norbert"},{"first_name":"Holger","full_name":"Schwarz, Holger","last_name":"Schwarz"},{"first_name":"Meike","full_name":"Klettke, Meike","last_name":"Klettke"},{"last_name":"Thor","full_name":"Thor, Andreas","first_name":"Andreas"},{"last_name":"Kopp","full_name":"Kopp, Oliver","first_name":"Oliver"},{"first_name":"Matthias Wieland","last_name":"Bernhard","full_name":"Bernhard, Matthias Wieland"}],"type":"conference","publication":"Proceedings of the 17$^th$ Conference on Database Systems for Business, Technology, and Web (BTW ’17)","title":"Customer Service in Social Media — An Empirical Study of the Airline Industry","author":[{"first_name":"Matthias","full_name":"Carnein, Matthias","last_name":"Carnein"},{"first_name":"Leschek","full_name":"Homann, Leschek","last_name":"Homann"},{"last_name":"Trautmann","orcid":"0000-0002-9788-8282","id":"100740","full_name":"Trautmann, Heike","first_name":"Heike"},{"full_name":"Vossen, Gottfried","last_name":"Vossen","first_name":"Gottfried"},{"last_name":"Kraume","full_name":"Kraume, Karsten","first_name":"Karsten"}],"date_created":"2023-08-04T15:06:41Z","volume":"P-266","publisher":"Gesellschaft für Informatik","date_updated":"2023-10-16T13:36:58Z","citation":{"mla":"Carnein, Matthias, et al. “Customer Service in Social Media — An Empirical Study of the Airline Industry.” <i>Proceedings of the 17$^th$ Conference on Database Systems for Business, Technology, and Web (BTW ’17)</i>, edited by Norbert Ritter et al., vol.
