Background- we are connected
• 3+ years of exploring ecosystemic nature of innovation & the role of relationships as conduits for talent, information and financial resources (conference papers and journal articles)
• Case studies of innovation ecosystems
Using social network analysis (SNA) and network visualizations to explain the relationships/connections/interactions in a concrete/
explicit way shown to be useful and valuable
IMPORTANCE OF LINKAGES
“The innovative activities of a firm partly depend on the variety and structure of its links to sources of information, knowledge, technologies, practices and human and financial resources.”
Recognizing the sources for transfers of knowledge and technology
Relational capital
Traditional approaches very limited in their power or explaining the wealth-creating potential of collaboration, which we think needs to be made explicit with relationships, connections and their interactions.
Social capital and relational capital
OUR DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH
For bringing out insights on the networked
innovation: The skeleton of the
ecosystem, the roles of individual actors
Still, K. Huhtamäki, J., Russell, M., Basole, R. & Rubens, N. 2013. Networks of innovation relationships: multiscopic views on Finland. Proceedings of XXIV ISPIM Conference, June 16-19, Helsinki, Finland.
Our approach: processes and toolchains (cf. NAV model)
(3) Visualizations
(2) SNA metrics
(1) Relational
data
Degree Betweenness centrality … Eigenvector centrality Closeness centrality?
Information centrality?
