“…For this purpose, two network programs were used: UCINET (Borgatti et al, 2002) and ORA PRO (Altman et al, 2020). The network approach allows for the association of DIH data with technology and services provided (c.f., Ujwary-Gil, 2017). The secondary data of the Smart Specialization Platform (S3 Tools and Data Sources, 2022) was used, which is very well structured (standardized for each DIH).…”

The Digital Innovation Hub (DIH) is a relatively young research area emerging on the basis of well-known ideas of technology parks or clusters. DIH is mainly focused on the digital transformation of enterprises and the development of a given region in the context of Industry 4.0 based on digital technology. The European Union is the initiator of the "Digital Europe" program for 2021-2027, aiming to promote the transfer of digital specialist knowledge to economic entities. The authors chose the DIHs operating in Poland as a starting point for network analysis in the context of the technology and services provided by Polish DIHs. This research aims to measure network cohesion, the centrality of individual DIH, and its specialty (exclusivity). It is based on secondary data collected using the Smart Specialization Platform based on which the two two-mode networks have been developed: actor x technology (ATij) and actor x services provided (ASPij). Measurements and visualization were made using two network programs (UCINET and ORA PRO). The following social network analysis techniques were used: 1) Two-mode cohesion: density, diameter, and fragmentation; 2) Two-mode centrality: degree and betweenness, and 3) Two-mode specialty (exclusivity). The results show two-mode networks consisting of the following nodes: 15 actors (A) or DIHs; 29 technologies (T), and 16 services provided (SP) forming a meta-network. They provide an insight into the network structure, most influential actors (DIHs), technologies, and services, as well as the specialty of each DIH in the European country, thus giving rise to further comparative research, using secondary data for the other 26 countries of the European Union.

“…The network understood in this way is one-mode. Two-mode networks called affiliation networks (Everett, 2016;Jasny, 2012;Ujwary-Gil, 2017) take place in the case of relationships between two different sets of nodes. The network theory should be seen as the basis for interpreting the behavior of social actors and understanding the interdependencies occurring in the network of relations (Borgatti and Halgin, 2011;Salancik, 1995).…”

The study aims to examine the two-mode network of digital innovation hubs (DIH) operating in Poland, understood as ecosystems and competence centers, to support the digital transformation of enterprises in a region. Digital Innovation Hub is also one of the S3 Smart Specialization Platform mapping tools and identifying areas of economic specialization of regions, aimed at facilitating interregional cooperation and creating partnerships between different actors across Europe. While the functions and goals of DIH are more and more often presented in national and regional development documents, little is known about the network structure of DIHs operating in a given country (region) and in the European Union. The study used structured and secondary Smart Specialization Platform data, which allows the creation of two-mode relationship networks and shows how interrelated the studied DIHs and digital technologies they use are. Based on the social network analysis and network metrics (centrality, density, and network projection) integrated into programs such as UCINET and ORA-PRO, the visualization and measurement of the network structure of two-mode networks (actor x technology ATij) as well as its projection into actor x actor (AAij) and technology x technology (TTij) networks were created. The results show 15 DIHs or actors (A) and 29 technologies (T), each of which a given DIH offers to show primarily influential DIHs and digital technologies as well as the areas of cooperation. DIHs are a promising and still little explored area of interest for researchers worldwide. The article is the first attempt to investigate the network structure of DIHs operating in Poland and their relations to technologies.

If there is one thing that the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us, it is that we live in an interdependent world. The pandemic has brought into stark relief three forms of interdependence. First, we see more clearly than ever the interrelationships between human and non-human networks, with human invasion of animal habitats and people's connectivity via global transportation systems creating the perfect conditions for pandemics. Second, the chains of interdependence linking human and non-human networks are both complex and tightly coupled, such that the employment of an individual or the performance of a company on one continent are not independent of the wildlife that people on the other side of the world come in contact with. Third, we have learned that the response to pandemics hinges on the management of interdependent tasks performed by organizations, industries, nation-states and international institutions, and the resources each deploy over time toward the execution of those tasks; lacking a coordinated response to these interdependencies, global supply chains are disrupted, delaying the production and distribution of vital supplies to communities that need them, and slowing-sometimes fatally-how businesses large and small adapt to shifting market demand and the resources required to meet it. Although interdependence has long been an object of inquiry in both organizational theory-for example, with research on high-reliability organizations (e.g., Perrow, 1984)-and strategy-with work on firms as ecosystems of interdependent choices (e.g., Siggelkow, 2011)-the exceptional scope and intricacy of social and economic reverberations from pandemics recast interdependence as a newly central construct in management studies. Management scholars must, therefore, reassess the assumptions, theories, methods they draw from to address the unique challenges presented by ubiquitous and
