This article describes how attributes of social network contribute to enhance innovativeness of corporation which is considered to be one of the competitive factors in this global market. The study especially focused on employees' formal and informal communication that is expected to play a mediating role between the factors. 211 employees were randomly selected to participate in an online survey. The result has shown that the static correlation exists between social network, communication, and innovativeness. Closeness of social network was the only influencing factor on communication and innovativeness, and had a partial mediated effect between social network and innovativeness. Based on the suggested contribution for HRD intervention, various communication channels should be developed and supported in order to enhance innovation among social networks in organizations.

최근 페이스북, 트위터 등 다양한 소셜 네트워크 서비스(SNS)가 등장하였으며, 많은 사용자들이 SNS를 이용하고 있다. 이러한 사용자의 증가로 인해 많은 조직들은 SNS에 관심을 가지게 되었다. 조직에서 SNS의 사용은 다양한 이점을 지니고 있다. SNS를 통해 조직들은 사용자들의 행위에 신속하고 지속적으로 반응할 수 있고, 다양한 특성을 지닌 사용자에게 쉽게 접근할 수 있으며, 타 매체에 비하여 사용자 특성이 반영된 차별화된 전략을 세울 수 있다. 또한 기업들은 SNS를 통해 상대적으로 저렴한 비용으로 활용이 가능하며, 사용자들과 양방향 소통이 가능하여 친근성과 신뢰성이 있는 관계 구축이 용이하다. 그러나 네트워크의 특성에 따라 SNS의 정보전달의 효과가 다르게 나타남에도 불구하고 조직들은 네트워크의 특성을 고려하지 않고 획일화된 방법으로 SNS를 활용하여 사용자들과 커뮤니케이션하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 네트워크에 따른 SNS의 정보전달의 효과 차이를 분석하였다. 즉 오프라인에서의 커뮤니케이션 기반으로 형성된 네트워크와 무작위로 형성된 네트워크를 생성하여, 각각의 네트워크들의 특징 차이를 분석하기 위하여 소셜 네트워크 분석을 하였다. 또한, 각각의 네트워크에서 SNS를 이용한 정보 전달 효과의 차이가 있는지 실증적으로 검증하였다. 실증 분석후 네트워크의 특성에 따라 네트워크 내 사용자들은 SNS를 받아들이는 반응이 달랐다. 따라서 조직이 효과적인 마케팅 수단으로 소셜 네트워크를 활용하기 위해서는 그 목적에 따라 네트워크의 특성을 고려하여 적절한 네트워크 형태를 구성해야 함을 도출하였다.

Due to development of smart and network technologies, social network service (SNS) has become popular in daily life. With increasing use of SNS, the scope of communication has been widened. Lots of activities can be easily shared daily on SNS. Differing with opinions about more activated communication on SNSs, some people have viewpoints that, in some cases, communications may be decreased among SNS users. This research is to investigate whether there may be the differences among generations in the social network age. Major concerns of study are as follows. First, there may be differences in age related to the decrease of communication activities. On the other hand, there may be differences among generations related to the increase of communication. Two research steps have been adopted that the FGI (focus group interview) was to understand. Defining actual communication status was the first step, and an empirical approach, a survey to verify hypotheses, was performed as the second step. Key findings of the study were that older generations perceived communication has been decreased. Research results can provide implications regarding characteristics of SNS communication.

Using the network analysis method, this study investigates the communication structure of Open Data on the Twitter sphere. It addresses the communication path by mapping influential activities and comparing the contents of tweets about Open Data. In the years 2015 and 2016, the NodeXL software was applied to collect tweets from the Twitter network, containing the term "opendata". The structural patterns of social media communication were analyzed through several network characteristics. The results indicate that the most common activities on the Twitter network are related to the subjects such as new applications and new technologies in Open Data. The study is the first to focus on the structural and informational pattern of Open Data based on social network analysis and content analysis. It will help researchers, activists, and policy-makers to come up with a major realization of the pattern of Open Data through Twitter.

Objectives: Research has shown that obesity appears to spread through social ties. However, the association between other characteristics of social networks and obesity is unclear. This study aimed to identify the association between social network characteristics and body mass index (BMI, $kg/m^2$) in an elderly Korean population. Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed data from 657 Koreans (273 men, 384 women) aged 60 years or older who participated in the Korean Social Life, Health, and Aging Project. Network size is a count of the number of friends. Density of communication network is the number of connections in the social network reported as a fraction of the total links possible in the personal (ego-centric) network. Average frequency of communication (or meeting) measures how often network members communicate (or meet) each other. The association of each social network measure with BMI was investigated by multiple linear regression analysis. Results: After adjusting for potential confounders, the men with lower density (<0.71) and higher network size (4-6) had the higher BMI (${\beta}$=1.089, p=0.037) compared to the men with higher density (>0.83) and lower size (1-2), but not in the women (p=0.393). The lowest tertile of communication frequency was associated with higher BMI in the women (${\beta}$=0.885, p=0.049), but not in the men (p=0.140). Conclusions: Our study suggests that social network structure (network size and density) and activation (communication frequency and meeting frequency) are associated with obesity among the elderly. There may also be gender differences in this association.

본 연구는 저자 동시인용 데이터를 이용하여 커뮤니케이션 분야의 학자들간의 네트워크를 연구하였다. 저자 동시인용 분석이란 두 저자가 제 3의 다른 저자에 의해 동시에 인용되는 경우를 말하는데, 본 연구에서는 International Communication Association의 가장 대표적인 학술지인 Journal of Communication의 편집위원회를 그 대상으로 하였다. 저자동시인용 데이터는 좌우대칭의 매트릭스에 입력되고, 그 행렬에서 얻어지는 저자들의 위치도(network map)를 통해 각 저자들의 전문분야들이 위치도 안에서 어떻게 구분되는지, 또한 네트워크 상에서 어떤 저자들이 다른 저자들에 비해 중심적인 지 보여주는 데 이용된다. 기본적인 저자동시인용분석 외에도 두 매트릭스의 연관성을 비교하는 QAP 분석을 통해 어떠한 요인들이 커뮤니케이션 분야의 지식구조에 영향을 미치는 지 조사하였는데, 저자들의 교육적 배경이나 현재 소속된 기관보다는 각자의 전문분야가 더 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 저자동시인용분석에 필요한 데이터는 Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) 데이터베이스를 통해 수집되었고, 저자들의 네트워크 지도는 UCInet이라는 프로그램을 이용하여 만들어졌다.

With the appearance of wireless spectrum crisis in traditional cellular network, device-to-device (D2D) communication has been regarded as a promising solution to ease heavy traffic burden by enabling precise content delivery among mobile users. However, due to the channel sharing, the interference between D2D and cellular users can affect the transmission rate and narrow the throughput in the network. In this paper, we firstly present a weighted interference minimization cluster formation model involving both social attribute and physical closeness. The weighted-interference, which is evaluated under the susceptible-infected(SI) model, is utilized to gather user in social and physical proximity. Then, we address the cluster formation problem via spectrum clustering with iterative operation. Finally, we propose the stable matching theory algorithm in order to maximize rate oriented to accomplish the one-to-one resource allocation. Numerical results show that our proposed scheme acquires quite well clustering effect and increases the accumulative transmission rate compared with the other two advanced schemes.

In organizations, evaluating the competency of individuals through the position or status has many limitations. To overcome these limitations, this study analyzes the organization's informal network using social network analysis. We measured out-degree centrality and in-degree centrality by making use of social network analysis technique. Out-degree centrality is interpreted as 'madangbal' in that actors actively help other people, while in-degree centrality is interpreted as 'prestige' in that other people want to have a relationship with. This research examines the effects of individual's 'prestige' and 'madangbal' in the instrumental network and communication network on IT competency. We carried out empirical analysis using social network data that were collected from undergraduate students. The result reveals that relationship between IT competency and centrality in the instrumental network is statistically significant, while relationship between IT competency and centrality in the communication network does not show significant results.

Although previous studies on social commerce have provided much insight, more studies in the perspective of social network are needed because social commerce happens within online communities or virtual groups, where buyers connect and interact with each other by sharing information. So, the purpose of this study is to investigate how transactive memory as network characteristic can affect social commerce behavior through social support and relationship quality. We verified the relational effect among social support, relationship quality, and social commerce intention in the Korean market context. Moreover, we found transactive memory capability also played an essential role in the field of social commerce. Specifically, we found consumer's transactive memory capability plays a significant moderating role in the relation between social support and relationship quality.
