Co-Opetition in Crowdsourcing Challenges: Comment Network Dynamics and Relational Homophily Among Contestants in Crowdsourcing Challenge Communities
Situated in a creative crowdsourcing challenge organizational community, this research examines how different types of homophily affect network formation among ideators, the challenge innovators. Longitudinal analysis of comment network events among ideators was conducted with relational event models. Status homophily was examined based on ideators’ self-reported public profiles. Findings show that ideators’ location by country significantly infl…
The Paradox of Interaction: Communication Network Centralization, Shared Task Experience, and the Wisdom of Crowds in Online Crowdsourcing Communities
Research on the wisdom of crowds (WOC) identifies two paradoxical effects of communication. The social influence effect hampers the WOC, whereas the collective learning effect improves crowd wisdom. Yet it remains unclear under what conditions such communication impedes or enhances collective wisdom. The current study examined two features characterizing communication in online communities, communication network centralization and shared task exp…
Ecological Influences on Network Tie Dissolution in the Evolution of Affiliation Networks in the International Communication Association, 2009–2015
This study examined the influences of ecological factors on the dissolution of affiliation ties in the International Communication Association (ICA). The affiliation network in this study represented the connections between ICA members and ICA divisions and interest groups. Guided by insights from organizational ecology and network theory, this research used a multilevel discrete-time event history analysis to test how ecological factors influenc…
Disrupting the Covid-19 Misinfodemic With Network Interventions: Network Solutions for Network Problems
Amid the COVID-19 global pandemic, a highly troublesome influx of viral misinformation threatens to exacerbate the crisis through its deleterious effects on public health outcomes and health behavior decisions. This “misinfodemic” has ignited a surge of ongoing research aimed at characterizing its content, identifying its sources, and documenting its effects. Noticeably absent as of yet is a cogent strategy to disrupt misinformation. We start wit…
The Value of Questions in Organizing: Reconceptualizing Contributions to Online Public Information Goods
In contrast to previous research that treats question-Paskers as free- riders, this article conceptualizes questions and information requests as important forms of contribution to generating online public information goods. By requesting information, individuals make visible an informational need, calling for attention from those who may be able to fulfill that need and alerting those who share that need. Communicating questions can result in gro…
Evolutionary Theory and Models
This entry introduces the theory and models of evolution by natural selection as a powerful tool for examining changes that occur naturally in a wide range of complex and dynamic communication systems. The first section provides a brief overview of the development of evolution theory and discusses the difference between Darwinian evolution and other evolutionary ideas. The second section discusses the three fundamental mechanisms of Darwinian evo…
Network Theory and Models
This entry introduces the theory and models of communication networks as a powerful tool for examining the structural complexity and underlying dynamics of human communication. The first section provides a brief overview of the historical background on which network thinking was born and discusses its implications. The second section reviews early studies on communication networks and introduces several important network concepts such as centrali…

Virtual Brokerage and Closure: Network Structure and Social Capital in a Massively Multiplayer Online Game
This study proposes a structural approach to examining online bridging and bonding social capital in a large virtual world. It tests the effects of individual players’ network brokerage and closure on their task performance and trust of other players. Bridging social capital is operationalized as brokerage, the extent to which one is tied to disconnected others, and bonding social capital as closure, the extent to which one is embedded in a dense…
The Flow of Digital News in a Network of Sources, Authorities, and Hubs
This article presents an analysis of the flow of information in a network of online news sites. Social network theory and research on hyperlinked networks of Web pages are used to develop a model of information flow among Web sites. Kleinberg's authority-hub model is extended by introducing sources of information in the network. Significant support was found for a Source–Authority–Hub model, which shows the source, directionality, routing, and de…
The Coevolution of Multiplex Communication Networks in Organizational Communities
This research examines the evolutionary patterns and determinants of multiplex organizational communication networks. Based on the data between 1997 and 2005 collected from the records of development projects in the field of Information and Communication Technology for Development, the study demonstrates that dynamics in one network are significant drivers of tie formation in the other network at both dyadic and triadic levels. In particular, res…
Who connects with whom? A social network analysis of an online open source software community
By examining “who connects with whom” in an online community using social network analysis, this study tests the social drivers that shape the collaboration dynamics among a group of participants from SourceForge, the largest open source community on the Web. The formation of the online social network was explored by testing two distinct network attachment logics: strategic selection and homophily. Both logics received some support. Taken togethe…
The Evolution of Organizational Communication
Organizational communication, by its very definition, constitutes an intersection, one that exists between the study of human communication and the study of human organization (Farace, Monge, & Russell, 1977). Several intellectual perspectives have influenced how this intersection has been studied and the knowledge claims established. These include (a) the cultural, interpretive perspective (Putnam & Pacanowsky, 1983), (b) the critical, postmoder…
Communication Network Evolution in Organizational Communities: Network Evolution
Organizational communities are typically defined as populations of organizations that are tied together by networks of communication and other relations in overlapping resource niches. Traditionally, evolutionary theorists and researchers have examined organizational populations that comprise organizational communities by focusing on their properties rather than on the networks that link them. However, a full understanding of the evolution of org…
The Emergence of Clusters in the Global Telecommunications Network
Studies of international telecommunication networks in past years have found increases in density, centralization, and integration. More recent studies, however, have identified trends of decentralization and regionalization. The present research examines these structural changes in international telephone traffic among 110 countries between 1989 and 1999. It examines the competing theoretical models of core–periphery and cluster structures. The …
Communication Processes for Virtual Organizations
Communication is fundamental to any form of organizing but is preeminent in virtual organizations. Virtual organizations are characterized by (a) highly dynamic processes, (b) contractual relationships among entities, (c) edgeless, permeable boundaries, and (d) reconfigurable structures. Relative to more traditional settings, communication processes that occur in virtual contexts are expected to be rapid, customized, temporary, greater in volume,…

The Role of the Global Telecommunications Network in Bridging Economic and Political Divides, 1989 to 1999
This research explores the role of telecommunicative globalization in bridging world political and economic divides. Current approaches define globalization primarily in terms of increased density of network ties between nations, a perspective the present article extends into a more comprehensive framework. Exchange and balance theories are combined into a multitheoretical, multilevel model consisting of hypotheses regarding the mutuality, transi…
