Paradoxes in Social Networks with Multiple Products
Recently, we introduced in [1] a model for product adoption in social networks with multiple products, where the agents, influenced by their neighbours, can adopt one out of several alternatives. We identify and analyze here four types of paradoxes that can arise in these networks. To this end, we use social network games that we recently introduced in [15]. These paradoxes shed light on possib...
متن کاملSocial Networks with Competing Products
We introduce a new threshold model of social networks, in which the nodes influenced by their neighbours can adopt one out of several alternatives. We characterize social networks for which adoption of a product by the whole network is possible (respectively necessary) and the ones for which a unique outcome is guaranteed. These characterizations directly yield polynomial time algorithms that a...
متن کاملDiffusion in Social Networks with Competing Products
We introduce a new threshold model of social networks, in which the nodes influenced by their neighbours can adopt one out of several alternatives. We characterize the graphs for which adoption of a product by the whole network is possible (respectively necessary) and the ones for which a unique outcome is guaranteed. These characterizations directly yield polynomial time algorithms that allow ...
متن کاملChoosing Products in Social Networks
We study the consequences of adopting products by agents who form a social network. To this end we use the threshold model introduced in [2], in which the nodes influenced by their neighbours can adopt one out of several alternatives, and associate with each such social network a strategic game between the agents. The possibility of not choosing any product results in two special types of (pure...
متن کاملTechnology Competition on Social Networks - Paradoxes and Resolution
Competition of incompatible technologies can lead to outcomes where more than one technology takes a significant share of the market. Instant messengers are one such example, since a significant fraction of people uses more than one messenger, and no provider dominates the market. This outcome is contrary to the usual prediction of the technology adoption literature. To resolve this paradox, an...
