Finding collaborative innovation networks through correlating performance with social network structure

Peter A. Gloor, Maria Paasivaara, Detlef Schoder, Paul Willems · 2007 · International Journal of Production Research

Summary. This paper examines how social network structure relates to team performance in virtual collaborative settings. Researchers studied student teams from two universities working remotely on communication analysis tasks and compared their findings with data from online gamers. They found that for knowledge worker teams, balanced contribution among members predicts performance better than the number of communication links alone. The study provides recommendations for effective virtual team communication.
