dc.description.abstract
The paradigm of social network analysis (SNA) has become widely recognized as
a potential approach to analyze, evaluate, and influence communication
processes. The author argues that SNA proves useful both as a theoretical
concept and a practical tool for knowledge communication in research and
development (R&D;). The context of innovative knowledge generation in
organizational R&D; environments is introduced very broadly with an
extensive reference to the existing literature. The pragmatic approach of
networks is outlined as a powerful concept to grasp the social relationships
between individuals as well as between social aggregates for conceptual and
analytical purposes with striking simplicity. Based on three case studies,
methods of SNA are simplified and vividly illustrated according to their basic
steps to meet practical needs and show their usefulness for business practice.
Moreover, the book provides illustrative examples for interventions and
follow-up activities to improve processes of organizational knowledge
communication based on SNA. (Available also as: Müller-Prothmann, Tobias,

dc.description.abstract
Die Soziale Netzwerkanalyse (SNA) erfährt eine hohe Aufmerksamkeit als Methode
zur Analyse, Bewertung und Beeinflussung von Kommunikationsprozessen.
Insbesondere eignet sie sich als theoretisches Konzept und praktisches
Werkzeug zur Analyse und Unterstützung der Wissenskommunikation in Forschung
und Entwicklung. In dieser Arbeit wird der Kontext innovativer
Wissensgenerierung in Forschungs- und Entwicklungsumgebungen auf breiter
Literaturbasis eingeführt. Im Anschluss wird der pragmatische Netzwerkansatz
als mächtiges Konzept zur Erfassung von sozialen Beziehungen zwischen
Individuen und sozialen Aggregaten (Gruppen, Abteilungen, Organisationen etc.)
ausführlich dargestellt. Anhand von drei Fallstudien werden die Soziale
Netzwerkanalyse und ihre grundlegenden Methoden für die praktische Anwendung
dargestellt. Darüber hinaus bietet die Arbeit Beispiele für Interventionen und
Follow-up-Aktivitäten zur Verbesserung der organisationalen
Wissenskommunikation auf Basis der Sozialen Netzwerkanalyse. (Auch als
