michelemmartinBut the intersection of ties and Enterprise 2.0 technologies goes much farther than this. In fact, ties provide a great base for understanding the benefits provided by many E2.0 technologies, and for understanding when each one should be deployed. Thinkin

As I wrote earlier, the sociologist Mark Granovetter's theory of the 'strength of weak ties' provides a great way to conceptualize the value of SNS.

Consider the prototypical knowledge worker inside a large, geographically distributed organization (all of what follows also applies for smaller and more centralized organizations, but probably to a lesser extent). She has a relatively small group of close collaborators; these are people with whom she has strong professional ties. Beyond this group, there's also a set that includes people she with worked on a project with in the past, coworkers who she interacts with periodically, colleagues she knows via an introduction, and the many other varieties of 'professional acquaintance.' In Granovetter's language, she has weak ties to these people.

Pedro MartinsO artigo é extremamente interessante, mas destaco a análise que o autor faz ao impacto que diferentes tipos de ferramentas poderão ter em diferentes tipos de "relacionamentos" que ele considera existir numa empresa.

Johannes SchunterMy colleague Clay Christensen stresses that managers are voracious consumers of theory. In other words, they value ways to think about their world, and mental tools that will let them make decisions and predictions with a level of confidence higher than t

As I wrote earlier, enterprise social networking software lets our prototypical knowledge worker stay in touch with a large network of colleagues, allowing her to keep up to date with that they're doing, working on, and producing. It also lets her tell this network what she's up to.
This might sound like an only marginally useful exercise, but it can in fact be quite powerful because it's a quick and easy way to form connections and make associations that might not ever occur otherwise.

And what about all the people in the third ring of the circle in the figure -- the potentially valuable colleagues who our knowledge worker just hasn't met yet? Wikis and SNS in their current configurations don't help her learn of the existence of such people, but an internal corporate blogosphere could.
-
Evidence suggests that wikis let strongly-tied collaborators get their work done better, faster, and with more agility than was previous possible.

In a corporate prediction market, in contrast, the securities being traded are related to future events such as "How many units of this product will we sell next quarter?" "What will our market share be at the end of the quarter?" "Will our competitor release their product on time?" "Will we release our product on time?" Such markets can be designed so that security prices are the same as the estimated probability that the event will occur, according to the markets’ traders.
-
The facts that Facebook has opened its platform to outside applications, and that a consortium of social media providers anchored by Google and MySpace has just announced a common specification for developers, will no doubt hasten the arrival of robust enterprise SNS.

I’m hearing from a lot of people that late 2007 is much like late 1997, when technology specialists were getting asked by senior executives "What is the Internet, exactly, why is it a big deal, and what’s our Internet strategy?" The question now is "What’s Web 2.0 / Enterprise 2.0 / social media, exactly, why is it a big deal, and what’s our W2.0 / E2.0 / social media strategy?" The table, bullseye figure, and arguments presented here can help frame discussions around these questions by encouraging decision makers to first focus on what ring(s) of the bullseye they’re most interested in targeting. Lots of subsequent decisions and actitivies flow from the answer to this question, and from applying a bit of well-established theory (the theory of strong and weak ties) to technology considerations.

Johann RichardI’ve recently had some success using a longstanding theory to explain to executives the value of social networking software (SNS) like Facebook.

Marcel de RuiterA good read on the four layers of ties that explain the role of each type of social software.
