Based on a dataset of 3,813 user profiles from the largest LOHAS community site on Facebook, we applied association rule mining and logistic regression to achieve this goal. We focused our work on applying the collaborative innovation network (COIN) concept to the LOHAS consumer. Results show that LOHAS consumers have a strong spiritual attitude and a general interest in outdoor and fitness activities such as hiking, gardening, and yoga. Finally, we provide a description of a LOHAS consumer profile archetype and compare our findings to existing work. Journal: Int.

As a consequence, the concept of enabling spaces is introduced as a space that is designed in such a way that it enables and facilitates processes of collaborative knowledge creation and innovation. In that context, a rather broad notion of space is applied: it goes far beyond architectural/physical space by integrating social, cognitive, emotional, organisational, and epistemological dimensions in an interdisciplinary manner. Both the theoretical background and the methodological approach and design process will be presented. Furthermore, we will discuss a case for an enabling space which functions as a collaborative innovation network. It will turn out that enabling spaces and collaborative innovation networks (COINs) share a lot of characteristics, attitudes, and values. Journal: Int.

Can we empirically test if certain conceptual frames of social movements have a correlate on their online discussion networks? Through an analysis of Twitter data from the occupy movement, this paper describes the formation of political discourse over time. Building on an a priori set of concepts, derived from theoretical discussions about the movement and its roots, we analyse the data to observe when those concepts start to appear within the networks, who are those Twitter users responsible for them, and what are the patterns through which those concepts spread. Our findings show that, although there are some signs of opportunistic behaviour among activists, most of them are central nodes from the onset of the network, and shape the discussions across time. These central activists do not only start the conversations around given frames, but also sustain over time and become key members of the network. From here, we aim to provide a thorough account of the 'travel' of political discourse, and the correlate of online conversational networks with theoretical accounts of the movement. Journal: Int.

We present a series of social network-based predictors for collaboration efficiency in knowledge worker teams. This paper illustrates a new way to increase efficiency in working together by analysing the social network of a team of 42 consultants in a high-tech company and comparing it with their utilisation. By bridging structure holes and eliminating bottlenecks, reducing stress for overburdened individuals, connecting isolated individuals and identifying the best network structures for high utilisation and increased job satisfaction our approach offers a blueprint for SNA-based organisational redesign and optimisation.

The method of pattern language has been developed for scribing and sharing practical knowledge in a certain domain and have been applied to fields including architecture, software, and education. In this paper, pattern languages are considered as media for mining, analysing, and visualising experiences, and as an example the case of the learning patterns, a pattern language for creative learning, is taken as follows: 1) holding dialogue workshops in order to support people to mine experiences with patterns; 2) plotting how many people have already experienced each pattern and how many people want to acquire each pattern in the near future; 3) visualising the co-experience network of patterns and the charts expressing the change of experiences in light of the patterns. Furthermore, two other cases, the presentation patterns and the collaboration patterns, are introduced as additional examples. From these cases, this paper concludes that pattern languages can be used as media for mining, analysing, and visualising experiences enabling people to share tacit, practical knowledge.

Through grounded methods (Borner et al., 2010) the relationship between scientific disciplines and team roles was observed in a National Institutes of Health-funded (NIH) research consortium. Interviews and the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) (Cameron and Quinn, 2006) were employed. Findings show strong role and discipline idiosyncrasies that when viewed separately provide different insights into team functioning and change receptivity. When considered simultaneously, value-latent characteristics emerged showing self-perceived contributions to the team. This micro/meso analysis suggests that individual participation in team level interactions can inform the structuration of roles and disciplines in an attempt to tackle macro level problems.

The proposed course is intended for first-year undergraduate students and has the goal of helping students to 'learn collaborative learning'. The class design is intended to help in transforming student beliefs about learning by replacing the passive, individual model of learning with an active, collaborative model that is supported by the concept of knowledge building. We conducted an empirical study in which students analysed their own discourse. Students in the experimental group used the KBDeX software to assist their analysis, and students in the control group reflected on their project activities in whatever way they chose. We used qualitative analysis of post-project reports to examine the change in student beliefs. The results showed that the course design encouraged transformation of beliefs about learning, with students moving from viewing the course as just participating in collaborative learning to viewing it as actively contributing to collaborative knowledge creation. This result also shows that we succeeded in changing the students' perceptions about collaborative learning from negative to positive. Journal: Int.

Analysing the case of the 2011-2013 Chilean student movement Abstract: We analyse the Chilean student movement by looking at Twitter data from 26 protests, distributed between May of 2011 and November of 2013. Using a mixed methods approach, based on social network analysis and qualitative methods, this article uncovers specific Twitter-based protest patterns and changing centrality of actors over time. It finds that the student movement has increasingly used Twitter, especially during days of protest. It also identifies a process of Twitter institutionalisation, whereby official accounts of organisations have become more central through time, in comparison with individual leaders' accounts. This article contributes to the literature that analyses how existing social movement organisations adapt to emerging environments of digital activism. Journal: Int.
