Abstract

In the context of fastest growing Indian online market, the big players like Amazon.in, Flipkart.com, Snapdeal.com, etc. are in a competitive journey to expand their market share. This paper is an attempt in modelling customer feedback for the said e-market players. The paper uses feed forward neural networks with maximum two hidden layers and back propagation kind of supervised learning algorithm. The paper found satisfactory level of success and concludes usefulness of customer feedback for both customers (for purchase decision) and marketers (for product development) points of view. It is a footstep and opens a new research challenge for the post-COVID era of business.

3. Research Gap In Literature

Lots of research works are already available in the existing literature where authors attempted to measure consumers’ product evaluations process after exposure to positive and negative feedback. It is found that consumers relied on online reviews before making their purchasing decision on products in digital market platforms. There is no debate with it(Hu et al 2011). It is well accepted that segregation of reviews on their sentiment can help future buyers to reach at better decisions as per their requirements(Singla et al. 2017). GurneetKaur and Abhinash Singh explained nicely the E-commerce users’ behavior with respect to online feedback system. (Kaur and Singh 2016). It has been found in the literature that users of online feedback systems are usually highly influenced & perhaps biased by the feedback of VIP users (Bi and Zhang 2016).Marketing Modeling is found to be the final step in a marketing research initiative. Unless the models can be used for better understanding of the marketing variables like customer behavior, customer satisfaction regarding value for money or product policies or to provide useful information regarding marketing strategies, then perhaps there is no utility of such research works(Enache 2015).Thus it is evident from the review of existing literature that we need some BI system which will be helpful to the manufacturers for modifying continuously the product features to satisfy the need of the potential buyers. Being motivated with this gap, it is our attempt to develop such a BI system using ANN for analysis online customers feedback.
