April 2009 Web414 Meeting — Thursday, April 9th, 2009 — 7pm

Topics: SXSWi 2009 Recap, Results of Network Study

SXSWi happened, and you were either there, or you weren't (or you don't remember!) Join us for a recap from some of the folks who were there (and actually remember things!)

Back in 2008 Andrew Fleck used the Web414 group for a study he was doing on networks, and now that he has defended his work, he is going to share the results with us. The title of his work is "The Relationship Between Network Centrality and Temperament Intelligence Type in a Small Innovation Network: Exploring the Implications for Emergent Innovation Networks" Wow... here's an abstract:

"This study explores whether centrality in a small emergent innovation network might be related to individual temperament intelligence type when it comes to sharing new and innovative ideas. Using data from a 17-member innovation network devoted to creatively building and improving the Internet, the researcher tested whether centrality and temperament intelligence type within the network might correlate. This study reflects a multidisciplinary approach to research and practice that integrates two important fields of inquiry—social network analysis and personality theory. Combined, the two fields provide a rich analysis of the individual in relation to others in social and organizational networks that cannot be obtained solely through one approach or the other."
