“…As the understanding of informal relationships has become increasingly recognized as a useful tool for managers, the need to map and document informal networks precisely has become paramount. Various researchers within the knowledge management community (Tichy et al, 1979;Georghiou et al, 1988;Cross and Parker, 2004;Dahl and Pedersen, 2005;Mote, 2005) have therefore used a methodology developed within the field of sociology termed 'social network analysis' (Scott, 1991;Wasserman and Faust, 1994).…”

Formal versus informal knowledge networks in R&D: a case study using social network analysis

2007

The existence of informal social networks within organizations has long been recognized as important and the unique working relationships among scientific and technical personnel have been well documented by both academics and practitioners. The growing interest in knowledge management practices has led to increased attention being paid to social network analysis as a tool for mapping the nature and membership of informal networks. However, despite the knowledge‐intensive nature of research and development (R&D) activities, social network analyses of the R&D function remain relatively rare. This paper discusses the role of informal networks in the development, exchange and dissemination of knowledge within the R&D function. A case study using social network analysis is used to compare and contrast formal and informal knowledge networks within ICI. Marked differences between the informal organization and ICI's formal structures for knowledge exchange are revealed and a series of insights into the working habits of technical staff are presented. The implications for managers are clear: through a better understanding of the informal organization of R&D staff, they can more successfully capture and exploit new ideas; more efficiently disseminate information throughout the function; and more effectively understand the working habits and activities of employees.

“…It was in the light of these experiences that co-nomination was adopted. The specific approach had originally been developed as a mapping tool for use either in classifying clusters of researchers or in identifying networks, particularly in an academic-industrial context (Georghiou et al, 1988). Previously, nomination analysis had been used in the study of communication networks among researchers.…”

The use of co‐nomination to identify expert participants for Technology Foresight

et al. 1996

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The United Kingdom has been carrying out a major exercise in the field of Technology Foresight, involving fifteen panels engaged in wide consultation about the future of their areas. The objectives of the Programme are to help set priorities for publicly funded science and technology and to create new working partnerships between science and industry. The paper describes the process by which members of the panels, and those whom they subsequently consulted, were identified. A survey‐based technique known as co‐nomination was employed, whereby respondents were asked to identify suitable participants and at the same time to profile their own expertise. The process was repeated with those nominated. The patterns of expertise thus revealed are themselves of interest and are used to construct a map of the inter‐relationship between the fields covered by the panels.
