Towards a Model for Collective Intelligence, Emergence and Individual Motivation in the Web 2.0

In this paper we sketch out a two-way-path from the general definition of collective intelligence to the specific usage of collective intelligence in ‘corporate web 2.0’ and back again. On the one hand we argue for a better formal underpinning of the connection of micro-level activities and macro-level emergents in the context of collective intelligence. On the other hand we reason that explicit consideration of examples from the web 2.0 in the discussion of collective intelligence will lead to better models of collective intelligence if done systematically. We propose a first step towards a model that could help to understand emergence and individual motivation in collective intelligence systems

Utilização de rede social para fins de crowdsourcing

Mestrado em GestãoThe increasing use of social network got the attention of researchers and organizations. The knowledge created and shared within the social network group, which is useful to organizations, is the object of this research. The study proposes a conceptual model, based literature review of previous researches in order to enphasize the relevant aspects that influence the communication within an online group. A longitudinal empirical research was applied at an online group, placed at the professional social network Linkedin. An empirical model emerged and a discussion was established over the most relevant components at an online group, to stimulate communication within, and they appeared to be divided in three major groups: member, the groups’ characteristic itself and shared content specification.A crescente utilização das medias sociais chamou a atenção de pesquisadores e organizações. O conhecimento criado e compartilhado dentro do grupo das medias sociais, que é útil para as organizações, é o objecto desta pesquisa.

Uma pesquisa longitudinal empírica foi aplicada em um grupo online, situado na rede social profissional Linkedin. Um modelo empírico e surgiu uma discussão foi estabelecida ao longo dos componentes mais relevantes em um grupo online, para estimular a comunicação, os aspectos demonstraram-se estar divididos em três grupos principais: membros, característica dos grupos em si e especificações de conteúdo compartilhado

Socialinės technologijos ir kolektyvinis intelektas

Socialinės technologijos, kaip ir kolektyvinis intelektas, yra tarpdisciplininė, besivystanti mokslo sritis, kuri apima informatikos, vadybos, ekonomikos, komunikacijos, socialinės psichologijos, sociologijos, politikos mokslų ir kitas disciplinas. Šios kolektyvinės monografijos išskirtinumas yra originalus požiūris į socialinių ir technologinių mokslų sąveiką. Tokį požiūrį formuoja monografijos autorių tarpdisciplininė patirtis ir tarptautinis mokslinis įdirbis. Šiame moksliniame darbe pabrėžiamas ne technologijų vyravimas, o socialinis technologijų aspektas, t. y. kolektyvinio intelekto, formuojamo pasitelkus technologijas, kuriamoji galia

Social technologies and collective intelligence

Social Technologies and Collective Intelligence is a monograph written by 24 international researchers in the field of Social Technologies and edited by prof. dr. Aelita Skaržauskienė from Mykolas Romeris University in Vilnius, Lithuania. As an academic discipline, social technologies is a highly interdisciplinary research field that focuses on applying existing ICT as well as newly emerging technologies to improve society. This work highlights the dominance of the non-technological social aspect of technology and its interaction with people, emphasizing the institutional power of Collective Intelligence through soft technology. By going through the book, the reader will gain insight and knowledge into the challenges and opportunities provided by this new exciting research field. Scientists will appreciate the comprehensive treatment of the research challenges in a multidisciplinary perspective. Practitioners and applied researchers will welcome the novel approaches to tackle relevant problems in their field. And policy-makers will better understand how technological advances can support them in supporting the progress of society and economy. The book is divided into six parts, each dealing with a well-defined research area at the intersection of Social Technologies and Collective Intelligence. Instead of being split up five ways among particular groups of collaborating authors, each individual author contributes to all five parts of the book their specific knowledge and insights, which makes this monograph a truly collaborative effort and a prime example of collective intelligence
