Research

Kaplan started doing research in the areas of mass customization, innovation, customer lifetime valuation, and relationship marketing. Since then he has focused on analyzing and decrypting social media. In particular his 2010 article co-authored with Michael Haenlein "Users of the world, unite! The challenges and opportunities of social media" published in Business Horizons is widely cited (over 6,000 times on Google Scholar, over 1,800 times in Scopus, and over 200 times in Business Source Premier) and known in the field. In 2011 to 2014 it ranked first in the Science Direct "Top 25 Hottest Articles"[5][6][7] in the category Business, Management, and Accounting. Additionally, in 2013 and 2014 this article ranked first across all 24 core subject areas covered in Science Direct, ranging from Management to Engineering, Psychology, or Neuroscience and thus was downloaded more often than any other of the approximately 12.5 million papers in the collection.[8][9] Kaplan received the annual Best Article Award from Business Horizons, sponsored by Elsevier, for his 2012 paper "If you love something, let it go mobile: Mobile marketing and mobile social media 4x4".[10]
