DR.B.VAMSEE MOHAN, K.NAVEED KUMAR REDDY
 
Abstract :

It's not easy to get people working in the same company to coordinate and network with one another and share information and resources. Competencies, positions, and the structural characteristics of the company, along with communication preferences and group assets, can all work against a productive exchange of ideas and information. Technology, and the Internet in particular, has the ability to alleviate these problems while also fostering the proliferation of creativity and efficiency in the workplace. The term "Enterprise2.0" has emerged to describe the incorporation of essential Web2.0 features, such as user engagement, into corporate settings; before, these platforms were known as "Intranets." In this white paper, we discuss the development and implementation of the open source Enterprise2.0 platform at the research institution Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK), which is home to over 400 academics and professionals engaged in a wide range of academic disciplines. We also examine the actions of various user types and their group dynamics, as well as conduct research into the platform's use and communication trends. Our preliminary study shows that users are more likely to engage in the most common social activities -- including conversing and browsing profiles -- with members of their own research group than with other colleagues. When we look at how central people are in conversation and profile view networks based on how long they've been part of the FBK community, we discover that newer members have a greater betweenness centrality. 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
