Corporate governance involves the management of conflicting interests amongst relevant stakeholders. Proximate stakeholders, such as shareholders, customers, suppliers and personnel, have relatively clear means at their disposal to influence the decision process; distant stakeholders and society at large rely on voice (e.g. public opinion) or coercion (e.g. regulation/litigation) to influence corporate governance. We explore the feasibility of formalizing the analysis of such measures by gathering data in the public digital sphere and modelling the formation of voice using two models of non-linear trend analysis. The ultimate goal is to be able to make early predictions on the prevalence and timing of a dominant voice. In this paper we will introduce data exemplars generated by SWAMMER and preliminary modelling results obtained through these models.

This short research note presents data on the visibility of leading politicians participating in electoral races in Canada and the US during the fall of 2008. Visibility metrics constructed from news items were strikingly accurate, within 0.2% and 0.3% of actual voting results in the Canadian and US races respectively. Other metrics - blogs, www, social, images and videos - are less accurate reflections of voting behaviors but nonetheless paint an informative picture of these social processes. This is in sharp contrast with past experiences where visibility indexes were woefully inaccurate. I conclude with remarks on the measurement properties of these metrics and on their meaning. It is important to keep in mind that these are anecdotal results based on only two events and that such indexes have to be interpreted with care. Yet, these results should be sufficient to generate a strong interest in a corpus that could prove to be a major source of insights for the social sciences, be they focused on politics, business or other areas of the field.--Résumé de l'éditeur.
