- ZeitschriftenartikelAnalyse informeller Kommunikationsnetzwerke am Beispiel einer Fallstudie(Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 51, No. 2, 2009) Fischbach, Kai; Schoder, Detlef; Gloor, Peter A.Die Struktur und Dynamik informeller Kommunikationsnetzwerke sind von zentraler Bedeutung für das Funktionieren betrieblicher Arbeitsprozesse und beeinflussen die Leistungs- und Innovationsfähigkeit von wissensintensiven Organisationen. Während sich die meisten Führungskräfte dessen bewusst sind, fehlt es an (teil-)automatischen, IT-gestützten Methoden und Instrumenten, die informelle Kommunikationsnetzwerke erfassbar machen. Während die Protokollierung elektronisch vermittelter Kommunikation in den letzten Jahren deutliche Fortschritte gemacht hat, ist die Abbildung von persönlichen Interaktionen nach wie vor sehr aufwändig und insbesondere bei manuellen Verfahren sehr fehleranfällig. Die Autoren zeigen in dem Beitrag, wie sich informelle Kommunikationsnetzwerke mit Hilfe von IT-gestützten Verfahren untersuchen lassen. Dabei präsentieren sie ein Instrument („Social Badges“), das Daten über die persönliche Kommunikation automatisch und genauer erfasst, als dies mit herkömmlichen Mitteln realisierbar ist. Die praktische Verwendbarkeit des Ansatzes wird anhand einer Fallstudie evaluiert.AbstractThe structure and dynamics of informal communication networks are of central significance for the functionality of enterprise workflows and for performance and innovation of knowledge-centric organizations. While most executives are aware of this fact, there is a general lack of (semi-) automated, IT-supported methods and instruments to make informal communication networks measurable. Although logging of electronic communications has made considerable progress over the past few years, it is still extremely difficult to map personal interaction; manual approaches in particular are extremely error-prone. The article shows how informal communication networks can be investigated by IT-based methods. At the same time, the authors will be presenting an instrument (“Social Badges”) that collects personal communications automatically and more precisely than legacy approaches allow. The practical applicability of the approach is evaluated through a case study.
- ZeitschriftenartikelInformationssysteme für „Wicked Problems“(Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 56, No. 1, 2014) Schoder, Detlef; Putzke, Johannes; Metaxas, Panagiotis Takis; Gloor, Peter A.; Fischbach, KaiMit unserem Forschungskommentar zeigen wir vielversprechende Forschungsrichtungen auf, die aus dem wechselseitigen Zusammenspiel von Social Media und Collective Intelligence hervorgehen. Wir konzentrieren uns auf sogenannte „Wicked Problems“ – eine Klasse von Problemen, „for which no single computational formulation of the problem is sufficient, for which different stakeholders do not even agree on what the problem really is, and for which there are no right or wrong answers, only answers that are better or worse from different points of view“ (Introne et al. in Künstl. Intell. 27:45–52, 2013). Wir argumentieren, dass insbesondere die Disziplin Wirtschaftsinformatik einen Beitrag zur Gestaltung geeigneter Systeme leisten kann und zwar aufgrund des Nutzens, der sich aus einer kombinierten Perspektive von Social Media und Collective Intelligence ableitet. Wir legen die Relevanz und Aktualität von Social Media und Collective Intelligence für die Wirtschaftsinformatik dar, schlagen erforderliche Funktionalitäten von Informationssystemen für Wicked Problems vor, beschreiben verwandte Themenfelder und Herausforderungen für die Forschung, identifizieren wissenschaftliche Methoden zu ihrer Lösung und führen konkrete Beispiele für erste Forschungsergebnisse an.AbstractThe objective of this commentary is to propose fruitful research directions built upon the reciprocal interplay of social media and collective intelligence. We focus on „wicked problems“ – a class of problems that Introne et al. (Künstl. Intell. 27:45–52, 2013) call „problems for which no single computational formulation of the problem is sufficient, for which different stakeholders do not even agree on what the problem really is, and for which there are no right or wrong answers, only answers that are better or worse from different points of view“. We argue that information systems research in particular can aid in designing appropriate systems due to benefits derived from the combined perspectives of both social media and collective intelligence. We document the relevance and timeliness of social media and collective intelligence for business and information systems engineering, pinpoint needed functionality of information systems for wicked problems, describe related research challenges, highlight prospective suitable methods to tackle those challenges, and review examples of initial results.
- ZeitschriftenartikelJazzFlow—Analyzing “Group Flow” Among Jazz Musicians Through “Honest Signals”(KI - Künstliche Intelligenz: Vol. 27, No. 1, 2013) Gloor, Peter A.; Oster, Daniel; Fischbach, KaiIn this project we aim to analyze “honest signals” between Jazz musicians by using sociometric badges with the goal of identifying structural properties of self-organizing creative teams. In particular, we are interested in the pre-requisites for “flow,” the state of work where “time flies,” and workers are at their most-productive best. We extend the concept of individual “flow” as defined by Csikszentmihalyi (Flow: the psychology of optimal experience. Harper Row, New York, 1990) to the group level (Sawyer in Group creativity: music, theater, collaboration. Psychology Press, Oxford, 2003; Group genius: the creative power of collaboration. Basic Books, New York, 2007), trying to identify some of the conditions indicative of the group flow state. We speculate that a band of Jazz musicians is particularly well suited to study group flow, because they are an archetype of a self-organizing creative team, involved in highly creatively work while passing leadership of the tune for the solo part from one band member to the next.
- ZeitschriftenartikelSocial Media and Collective Intelligence—Ongoing and Future Research Streams(KI - Künstliche Intelligenz: Vol. 27, No. 1, 2013) Schoder, Detlef; Gloor, Peter A.; Metaxas, Panagiotis TakisThe tremendous growth in the use of Social Media has led to radical paradigm shifts in the ways we communicate, collaborate, consume, and create information. Our focus in this special issue is on the reciprocal interplay of Social Media and Collective Intelligence. We therefore discuss constituting attributes of Social Media and Collective Intelligence, and we structure the rapidly growing body of literature including adjacent research streams such as social network analysis, Web Science, and computational social science. We conclude by making propositions for future research where in particular the disciplines of artificial intelligence, computer science, and information systems can substantially contribute to the interdisciplinary academic discourse.
