What is Social Network Analysis (SNA)?
![Page 10: Social Network Analysis & User Innovations](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5457ded2b1af9f40378b4f5e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Social Network Analysis (SNA)
A methodology used to map a social network and determine the
relevance of specific nodes as well as the overall relationships present
within the network.

Follow the Leader: Using Social Network Analysis to Identify Influential
Users in a User Innovation Community

Shifting Sources of Value• Open Business Model
– Competitive advantage through leveraging external resources (Chesborough, 2003)
– Permeable organizational boundaries– Redefinition of acceptable sources of value and
knowledge
• Potential Sources of Value– Users as an organizational resource (Di Gangi &
Wasko, Forthcoming; von Hippel, 1988; 2005)• User-generated innovations (UGIs)
![Page 22: Social Network Analysis & User Innovations](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5457ded2b1af9f40378b4f5e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
“Distributed groups of individuals focused on solving a general problem
and/or developing a new solution supported by computer-mediated
communication.” (Dahlander & Wallin, 2006 p. 1246)

Adopted ideas appear to be interconnected based on the individuals that participated
during the idea’s development.

RQAre specific types of users more successful than
others at getting ideas adopted by the organization?

Social Capital Theory“Any aspect of social structure that creates value and facilitates the actions of the individuals within that social structure” (Coleman, 1990; Siebert et al., 2001)
– An individual’s network of relationships (Nahapiet & Goshal, 1998)
– Access to information (Burt, 1992; Granovetter, 1979)
– Ability to influence the innovation process (Di Gangi & Wasko, 2009; Siebert et al., 2001)
![Page 28: Social Network Analysis & User Innovations](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5457ded2b1af9f40378b4f5e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
What types of users exist?• Possess unique,
technical knowledge (Lüthje, 2004; von Hippel, 1988)
• Play an early role in development activities (Jeppesen & Frederiksen, 2006; Rogers, 2003)– e.g., Idea generation
• Possess strong reputations within their communities (Morrison et al., 2004)
(Rogers, 2003)

Limitations• Generalizability
– Dell IdeaStorm was one of the first UICs introduced by an organization
• UIC developed by SalesForce.com– Sites Built on Platform Since IdeaStorm
• Network Solutions and Starbucks– Sites Built on Similar Platforms Since
IdeaStorm• Brightidea (Platform Provider), Change.org, Emerson,
IdeaBlob, and BrainStorm

Practical Contributions• Managing Absorptive Capacity
– Following the leaders in an organization’s UIC
• Leveraging a Volunteer Workforce– Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of an organization’s
UIC and organizational responses to UGIs
• Identifying Influential Users and potentially adoptable ideas in a UIC– Social network analysis
