讲座摘要：Dueto the relentless pace of developments in social media and informationtechnology, firms increasingly rely on a combination of verbal and visualelements to communicate with consumers. The present research investigates theimpacts of text-image information on customer engagement and corporate value.Based on a large scale data on Sina Weibo, we employ a Natural LanguageProcessing algorithm to characterize text contents as function-oriented(information that is helpful for increasing consumer knowledge about theproduct, brand, or company) and social-bond oriented (i.e., informationconveyed on a social level, to create connections with customers) types.Further, using Deep Learning techniques, we respectively calculate eachmessage’s relevancy and expectancy levels between text and images, which arethe two dimensions of incongruency. The results indicate that compared tofunction-oriented text, social bond-oriented text that aims to connect withconsumers emotionally exerts a larger effect on firm value measured by abnormalreturns (AR) through the mediating role of the number of likes. Moreinterestingly, we find that forward, comment and “Like” are virtually differentin antecedent factors and influence. Specifically, there exist inverted-Urelationships between expectancy and the number of forwards, the number ofcomments as well as the number of likes. But expectancy doesn’t exert a furthereffect on firm value. In contrast, there is an U-relationship between relevancyand the number of likes, which further drives AR.
