From some time back, scholars from management have started utilizing the power of text mining in various fields for theory building (Kar and Dwivedi, 2020). In fact, inclination towards digital transformation of industries has increased the quality and volume of unstructured data. This ample amount of unstructured data is now available for the researchers for analysis using big data analytics methodology, of which text mining is an integral part. Methods for theory building is gaining traction which uses text analytics on these large unstructured data (Kar and Dwivedi, 2020).

Further, the Internet’s immense growth allows users to share and search for ideas, opinions, and recommendations. Social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook play an important role in direct and indirect communication among users (Chandler et al., 2018). Besides, this massive amount of data available on social media platforms opens a new opportunity for the researchers and market professionals to analyze the status of the product in the market and help to make strategic plans for the growth of products and services as well (Shirdastian et al., 2017). The number of Internet users, as well as social media users, is growing day by day. Therefore, users create vast amounts of data in texts, videos, images, and audios on social media platforms. In addition, data on social media is freely available to users. Therefore, users can extract huge amounts of data from social media platforms in a concise duration. Here, the text mining technique is applied to social media data for many purposes like marketing (AlAlwan et al., 2017), product planning (Jeong et al., 2017), and digital marketing (Aswani et al., 2018). Online platforms like Yelp and TripAdvisor provide a platform for the customers or consumers to contribute fair feedback and explicit opinions to service providers. Therefore, online reviews are a reliable and free source of consumers’ or customer’s feedback in this digital environment (Dellarocas, 2003).
