Human Solutions for the Digital Age provides social engineering services to drive collective action and positive social change. They believe that changing relationship dynamics between organizations is necessary to motivate people towards sustainability goals. Their methods identify cognitive influences on individuals to develop empathetic communication strategies, integrate sustainable thinking into organizations, and contribute to societal good. They have established new key performance indicators focused on social capital, benchmark impact, and return on investment to better analyze how to influence collective behavior.
The document proposes studying how social institutions and individual behaviors interact in the tragedy of the commons problem. It discusses prior work on collective action dilemmas and models of individualistic vs communal agents. The hypothesis is that communal agents may optimize resource provision while individualistic agents optimize resource appropriation. An agent-based model is proposed to analyze the effects of different behavioral patterns and institutional changes on avoiding the tragedy of the commons.
This document discusses the human dimension of knowledge management. It notes that people are central to knowledge management as knowledge workers. It discusses knowledge workers from four perspectives: the nature of their work, as human capital, their human nature, and how they interact with computers. It also discusses communities as important for knowledge sharing and management, noting the role of virtual communities enabled by internet connectivity.
This document discusses different views of ethical behavior, including utilitarianism, individualism, moral rights, and justice-based views. Utilitarianism holds that an action is ethical if it benefits the majority. However, some question if it is ever ethical to harm individuals for the greater good. Individualism prioritizes self-interest, but this can undermine teamwork and common goals. Moral rights views consider things like liberty and free speech, but these can conflict with legal rights. Justice-based views emphasize fairness, equality and impartial treatment through concepts like procedural, distributive, and interactional justice. The document examines examples and debates around applying these perspectives in business and policy contexts.
Takashi Iba, an associate professor at Keio University, discusses creative processes. He proposes an autopoietic systems theory of creativity where creative processes are defined as autopoietic systems producing discoveries. Each discovery emerges from the synthesis of an idea, association, and finding. Creative processes involve the successive production of discoveries through networks of ideas and associations. Iba also discusses the coupling of creative, psychic, and social systems in creative works.
The document discusses education, student engagement, and mindset change for sustainable development. It notes that abrupt changes can occur in interconnected natural systems when buffer mechanisms are worn down. It outlines various spheres like the economy, environment, and society that shape sustainable development. The document advocates for balancing risks of action vs. inaction on climate change. It argues that costs of inaction may explode but costs of action depend on collaboration and innovation. The document concludes that student organizations can be part of the solution by inspiring learning through role models and engagement to show a way towards mindset change for sustainable development.
This document discusses how ideology affects entrepreneurship in Peru. It argues that collective values prevalent in society can jeopardize entrepreneurship, productivity, and wealth creation. Collective values found in tribal societies like solidarity and social responsibility contrast with individualistic values like private property and competition that are more conducive to an open society with a complex economy. The document analyzes how ideologies influence politics and lawmaking, and how laws intended to enhance reality can instead create conflicts and harm the economy by placing obstacles on individuals' freedom.
The person-system-role framework is considered an appropriate model to understand user-driven social enterprises. The starting point is the personal lived experiences of users and those who work with them. In transforming users into drivers of social enterprise, key roles like citizen and co-producer are important. Such personal experiences and roles are set within a context or system defined by its purpose or aim. Applying this framework to disability case studies, the authors identify that understanding lived experiences, valuing experiences of disability, promoting sharing and networking, clarifying organizational purpose, exploring co-production, and measuring user-driven enterprises are important for establishing and developing user-driven social enterprises.

The document discusses civic intelligence and engagement. It begins by providing background on The Evergreen State College, noting its focus on teaching, interdisciplinary learning, and student-determined learning. It then discusses several of the college's programs and efforts related to civic engagement, including working to create equitable public spheres and developing online tools to facilitate distributed meetings. The document goes on to discuss civic intelligence, defining it as how smart society is at addressing its problems collectively. It notes some shortcomings of current civic intelligence and provides examples of projects that demonstrate civic intelligence. Finally, it discusses different perspectives on civic intelligence and the need to recognize and improve it.
Having proposed 'an idea worth sharing' in response to a challenge issued by this year's TED Prize winner-The City 2.0; Group Epignosis is pleased to announce its launch of Project Epignosis.
A version of this PowerPoint presentation was shown at a public briefing and reception detailing the initiative's plan to transform the (global) City 2.0 -- beginning in Roanoke.

An excellent white paper outlining the importance of multi-partnerships to develop community & social innovation for complex human service & social issues.
1) The document outlines the perspectives, problems, research design, findings, and theoretical grounding of a study on work, learning, and institutionalization in emerging post-industrial occupations.
2) It examines the experiences of work and learning of individuals in new media fields, how new knowledge was distributed, and whether this new work and learning was institutionalized.
3) The study draws on theories of developmental learning and distributed cognition to understand the constructivist development of work and learning in this emerging occupation from the perspectives of both individuals and the media system as a whole.
1. The document discusses the concept of power and response-ability in the workplace. It argues that people are powerful and make systems work through their human response-ability.
2. It claims that treating people as objects reduces human power and leads to ineffective systems. Respecting the human side of systems releases more human power to support the system and its purpose.
3. The document advocates for balancing purpose fulfillment, relationship management, and knowledge building ("work, play, and learn") to improve organizational success and individual satisfaction. Treating people as people, rather than objects, allows their power and creativity to flourish.
These are the slides which I used is a 3 day workshop which I gave to university students in Brazil. Any feedback, and additional material that I could use (text, pictures, cartoons or videos), very gratefully received.
The document discusses creative climate in Tokyo through examples of small, spontaneous expressions of creativity in public spaces. It notes how people have found creative ways to utilize even narrow spaces, like curbsides and sidewalks, through do-it-yourself fixes and installations. Examples include makeshift seating, gardens along railroad tracks, and shared passions for things like flowers and grapes displayed in small, improvised ways. The document analyzes these examples through the framework of components of creative climate, such as risk-taking, freedom, trust, resources, and playfulness.
This document provides an overview of an essay discussing the human predisposition for collaboration and arguing for more horizontal collaborative structures over hierarchical ones. It begins by defining key terms like paradigm shift, new economy, and horizontal vs hierarchical structures. It then discusses concepts like community, capitalism, Fordism, and Andy Warhol's Factory to show how collaboration has been incorporated into existing systems. It argues that creativity and people themselves are becoming commodified and suggests collaboration could structure societies and industries going forward in a more equitable, horizontal way. Examples like the Pong Experiment are presented to show humans' innate tendency to collaborate.
Impact investment focuses on creating both tangible and intangible assets that support a sustainable economy where people can survive and thrive. Traditionally, finance has measured tangible assets while philanthropy has built intangible assets, but this has led to environmental problems. Impact investment balances the drives for unity through empathy and self-actualization through empowerment to foster economic productivity in a way that considers knowledge, social systems, and the environment, not just financial returns.
John Sutcliffe-Braithwaite introduces the Computational Socio-Geonomics (CSG/M) toolkit, which uses complexity science and emergence to model societal dynamics. CSG/M can be seen as a ubiquitous methodology for experimental societal modeling. It provides a new research paradigm involving a federation between Future Internet science and other domains to design and deploy modeling tools to better understand complex societal issues. The goal is to widely share this work and the modeling platform to support strategic societal change through an integrated societal modeling approach.

This slide presentation accompanied the recording of a Google Hangout On Air with special guests John Dupuy ("Integral Recovery") and Allie Middleton of Social Presencing Theater as shared on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/VmFyD1ACr9U
This document provides an overview of people-centered organizations and highlights key discussions from recent events focused on this theme. It summarizes (1) a workshop on employee ownership models and how they can benefit both businesses and employees, (2) the National Coalition for Dialogue & Deliberation event on moving past polarization through public engagement techniques, and (3) a Presencing Institute workshop on opening oneself to channel emergent change. The document also shares notes on Clark University's initiative to develop a culture of respectful dialogue on campus.
This document discusses organizational chaos versus consciousness. It argues that periods of instability often lead to paradigm shifts and higher-level restructuring. During such times of turmoil, new leadership approaches are needed that embrace chaos, create inspiring visions, and are free of ego. The document advocates for "conscious organizations" with strong cultural alignment, sustainable business models considering social and environmental impacts, and leaders who energize without ego. It asserts the new rules of business require embracing chaos, inspiring stakeholders, and leadership without selfish interests to navigate challenges and drive sustainable success.
This document provides an overview of communities of practice by summarizing key definitions and the history of the concept. Communities of practice are informal groups that form around common interests or activities whose members learn from one another. They were first studied in apprenticeship contexts but the concept has since been applied to organizations. While communities of practice can enable knowledge sharing, their informal nature also means they may not always align with organizational goals. The document outlines debates around applying the concept to businesses and possibilities of virtual communities of practice with new technologies.

Title: Contextual Transmedia Communications: Content and Creativity in Complexity
Presenter: Betsey Merkel, The Institute for Open Economic Networks (I-Open) at the COINs-collaborative innovation networks Conference 2010, hosted by the Savannah College of Art & Design in Savannah, Georgia USA on October 7-9, 2010.
From the Abstract and a Presentation Overview: The human race is faced with engaging in exponential levels of complexity resulting from expanding populations, limited natural resources, and maturating cycles of the World Wide Web. Habits of capacity building - that of inventory, meaning, and experimentation -- remain at levels suited to an industrial age of linear scarcity. The results of this mismatch can be seen in widespread U.S. unemployment, poverty, and exponential natural systems failure. Disruptions such as these will continue to diminish our collective creative abilities to advance innovative enterprise unless we think and act differently. How and what we communicate affects the economic impact of creativity.

E-Identité et les Territoires Numériques de DemainThierry Nabeth

What is the culture to foster innovation and innovative thinking in larger organizations? There are some similarities to modern fan culture as described by Henry Jenkis from MIT.
The five main approaches of psychology are behavioral, cognitive, biological, humanistic, and psychodynamic. The behavioral approach focuses on how environmental stimuli shape learning and behavior. The cognitive approach examines internal mental processes like thinking and memory. The biological approach studies how biology and neuroscience influence behavior. The humanistic approach emphasizes self-actualization, free will, and human potential. The psychodynamic approach developed by Freud focuses on unconscious thoughts and drives and their influence on behavior. Each approach provides a different perspective on understanding human behavior and the mind.
CHAT (Cultural Historical Activity Theory) was developed by cognitive psychologists to understand how people develop understandings of the world and create learning from those meanings. It combines systems, learning, and developmental components to allow meanings to expand towards action. Connectivism describes learning in a digital age as occurring through connections within networks, where learning resides outside of individuals and in diverse opinions. Both theories see disturbances and contradictions as opportunities for expansive learning through cycles of activity.
The document discusses how design has evolved from focusing on physical products to also addressing organizational structures, social problems, and human behavior. It notes that designers have become applied behavioral scientists but are undereducated for this task. It provides examples of how behavioral economics and design can be applied to domains like health, insurance, and retirement planning to design more effective policies and tools by understanding cognitive limitations. The document advocates for a new form of design education that incorporates more rigor, science, and attention to social/behavioral sciences, technology, and business to suit the unique requirements of design.
Systems thinking goes beyond the use of systems tools. In this presentation, delivered as a keynote at the 2019 Systems Innovation Conference in Barcelona, Philippe Vandenbroeck (shiftn.com) lays out a path to systems mastery that is grounded in a personal ethos and worldview as a basis for the capacity to apply tools, developing method and sustain the capacity for social learning in dealing with complex challenges.

Abortion is one of the most difficult and controversial moral issu.docxannetnash8266
Abortion is one of the most difficult and controversial moral issues we will consider. Listen to both sides, even if it is difficult to do. Both sides have important moral insights, even if ultimately these insights are outweighed by the insights of the other side. The goal of this discussion is not to convince you to accept one position over the other, but to help you to understand both sides. As you consider this difficult issue, it is important to distinguish two questions:
· Is abortion morally wrong?
· Should abortion be illegal?
Choose one of the questions above and argue both sides with supporting evidence. Please write your discussion choice in the title line.
For this paper, you will analyze how foresight, creativity, and innovation are separate, yet interrelated, concepts. To prepare for this assignment, Moonshots for Management" (Hamel, 2009) and "Welcome to a World of Change: Life in the 21st century" (Puccio, et al, 2012) . Also consider the tensions between innovation and creativity addressed in the article "Institutionalizing Ethical Innovation in Organizations: An Integrated Causal Model of Moral Innovation Decision Processes". Use this article as a foundation for evaluating creativity, foresight, and innovation within an ethical model.
Select an organization – it could be your present company or a previous company for which you worked in the past, or an organization in your personal life (professional, fraternal, charitable, social, etc.) – and describe a situation that demonstrates this organization’s foresight, creativity, and innovation within an ethical model. Some examples situations might include the development of a new product or service, a removal of a barrier to productivity, an action to improve employee productivity, a marketing/advertising campaign that induced more sales, a fund raising drive, a membership drive, etc. Your paper should:
1. Provide an analysis of how the organization demonstrated each of these separate concepts (creativity, innovation, and foresight) in an interrelated and ethical way.
2. Next, analyze the specific situation you have presented in light of foresight, creativity, and innovation in one of the following ways:
3. Analyze how the situation you have presented reflects at least three workplace trends discussed by Puccio, et al. (2012) or,
4. Analyze how at least three of the management challenges and goals discussed by Hamel (2009) helped you to understand the situation you presented.

Creativity and innovation are critical for organizational performance and survival. While creativity fuels new ideas, innovation exploits those ideas through successful implementation. Three key components of creativity are creative-thinking skills, expertise, and motivation. Managers can leverage creativity within their organizations by challenging employees, granting freedom, designing collaborative work groups, providing encouragement and incentives, and offering organizational support. Open innovation that incorporates external perspectives can stimulate new ideas beyond what internal research alone can produce.
This document summarizes a presentation on how social networks impact organizational learning. It discusses two key concepts - organizational learning, which is how organizations acquire, retain, and apply knowledge, and social networks, which embody past knowledge and shape future knowledge transfer. The presentation examines the relationship between these two concepts, exploring how networks impact knowledge creation, retention, and transfer within organizations. It uses a case study of student company networks and learning to empirically test these relationships.
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi proposes a systems model of creativity that views creativity as emerging from the interaction between an individual, a domain, and a field. [1] The model posits that a creative idea must be novel within a cultural domain, be selected for inclusion by the gatekeepers within that domain's field, and eventually influence the culture at large. [2] Csikszentmihalyi argues that considering only individuals fails to account for the external cultural factors that influence creativity. [3] The systems model provides a framework for understanding how culture, society, and personal background interact to either enable or constrain creative contributions.

The document discusses exploring the sustainability of private-collective communities, such as open source communities engaging with firms. It proposes using a stakeholder perspective and resource dependence theory to understand how these communities sustain themselves despite divergent stakeholder interests. The study examines the OpenSimulator community through interviews, archival data, and social network analysis to understand how interrelations among stakeholder groups influence sustainability over time. The goal is to understand the dynamics that allow private-collective communities to continue providing benefits to members long-term.
Modernism And Symbolic-Interpretivism Theory &Amp;...Carla Jardine
This document discusses organizational theory and provides a case study on Ryanair airline. It begins with an introduction to Ryanair, noting it was founded in 1985 and has grown significantly over the years under CEO Michael O'Leary. It adopts a low-cost leadership strategy. The document then analyzes Ryanair's organizational structure, finding it uses a centralized, functional structure with a tall hierarchy. Michael O'Leary maintains direct control over key departments as CEO. This structure allows Ryanair to effectively pursue its low-cost strategy through tight cost control from the top-down.
Transforming Businesses to Perform in the 21st CenturySandeep Gupta
1) The document discusses transforming businesses to perform effectively in the 21st century by shifting to a more conscious business model that incorporates spiritual wisdom and mindfulness.
2) It contrasts the 20th century unconscious business model, which excluded consciousness and treated employees as passive jobs holders, with the proposed 21st century conscious business model that includes consciousness and treats employees as active participants.
3) The transformation requires changing underlying thinking to appreciate new paradigms, and providing a comprehensive approach enabling organizations and members to thrive through inclusive, flexible, transparent, and socially equitable systems focused on sustainability.

This document discusses different models of individual behavior:
1. The rational economic man model views individuals as motivated primarily by economic incentives. It assumes human behavior can be controlled through incentives and rewards.
2. The social man model recognizes that individuals are motivated by social needs to belong and maintain relationships. It emphasizes that individuals are influenced by their social groups.
3. The organizational man model builds on the social man model, assuming individuals should sacrifice their individual interests for the benefit of their organization. It believes managing individual interests through group belongingness can reduce conflicts.
4. The self-actualizing man model sees individuals as inherently wanting to use their skills and capabilities to create things, rather than just belonging to social groups
This document discusses different models of individual behavior:
1. The rational economic man model views individuals as motivated primarily by economic incentives. It assumes human behavior can be controlled through incentives and is based on classical organization theory.
2. The social man model recognizes that individuals are motivated by social needs and influenced by social groups. It was developed based on findings from the Hawthorne studies.
3. The organizational man model extends the social man model, emphasizing loyalty to the organization and cooperation with others. It assumes individual interests should be sacrificed for the group and organization.
The document discusses new organizational models for the 21st century based on principles from nature. It describes fractal organizations as self-similar, self-organizing units that are connected in a network. Fractal enterprises allow for independent, customer-focused teams that cooperate like natural systems. The document also discusses lean management, the theory of constraints, bionic systems, holonic manufacturing, and chaordic organizations as approaches inspired by nature's patterns of spontaneity, mobility, and harmony.

3. Rethinking
Collaboration & « sociality »
Collaboration & the social process is increasingly recognized as an important
factor of organizational performance in the Knowledge Society.
It is also becoming prominent
(cf. social media, open innovation, etc.).
The “utilitarian” model of collaboration (cf. social exchange theory)
is replaced by more “humane” ones.
4. The evolution of the vision of the world
The world is predictable The world is uncertain
The world is relatively closed, The world is open,
static, and can be controlled and in perpetual evolution
( it is a “machine”) ( it is an “ecosystem”)
The organization is a competitive The organization is collaborative and
environment, driven by search for able to get the best from the collective
efficiency via well defined practices, expertise of its employees.
and automation.
The social process is perceived as The social process is a core process
distracting (hurting productivity), or of the organization that contributes to
at best something useful but difficult many functions (circulation of
apprehend and to manage. knowledge; motivation, etc.)
29 Mai 2012 International Doctoral Consortium on ICM 4
5. New theory of the firm:
“Sociality” as an Organizational Advantage
Kogut and Zander recently have proposed “that a firm be understood
as a social community specializing in the speed and efficiency in the
creation and transfer of knowledge”. … Organizations have some
particular capabilities for creating and sharing knowledge that giving
them distinctive advantage.
This stands in stark contrast with the more established transaction cost
theory grounded in the assumption of human opportunism and the
resulting condition of market failure.

capital, and the organizational advantage. The Academy of Management

6. The
The value of socialization: An illustration
(in a previous research based on the capturing & analysis of social signal) … we found
that the best predictors of productivity were a team’s energy and engagement outside
formal meetings.
Drawing on that insight, we advised the center’s manager (of a bank’s call center) to
revise the employees’ coffee break schedule so that everyone on a team took a break
at the same time. That would allow people more time to socialize with their
teammates, away from their workstations. Though the suggestion flew in the face of
standard efficiency practices, the manager was baffled and desperate, so he tried it.
And it worked: AHT (average handle time) fell by more than 20% among lower-performing
teams and decreased by 8% overall at the call center. Now the manager is changing
the break schedule at all 10 of the bank’s call centers (which employ a total of 25,000
people) and is forecasting $15 million a year in productivity increases. He has also
seen employee satisfaction at call centers rise, sometimes by more than 10%.

7. The “socialization” of organizations
Organizations (in particular of knowledge intensive organizations) are now
generally very aware of the advantage of the social process as a means to
contribute to their performance. They are keen at embracing approaches helping
to develop it.
This interest can be observed in:
• The development on the Internet as a social space (cf. social media) to
be used to engage into interaction with many actors. (customers)
• The development of enterprise social networking as a way to support
and accelerate the circulation of tacit knowledge and the collaboration in the
organization.
• The adoption of new collective intelligence processes. Examples include
crowdsourcing for supporting open innovation.
Note: IBM is for instance promoting the concept of “social business” (which
consists in incorporating sociality at the core of the business process) as the next
step in the overall evolution of business.

8. Modeling collaboration & the social process
Collaboration is utilitarian Collaboration is in human nature
People interact with others as a Sociality is an inner component of
means of accomplishing their human nature (Man is a social
objectives. animal).
What drives their behavior is the The new perspective in collaboration
optimization of individual benefit. & social interaction: It is more about
human social cognition.
Social exchange theory
Social cognition theories
It is about a calculation :
Rewards – Cost
Looking at:
• Costs: effort put into a relationship
• Rewards: elements of a Trust, identity, perception, reputation,
relationship that have positive reciprocity, altruism, social reward,
value social motivation, fairness, empathy,
…
29 Mai 2012 International Doctoral Consortium on ICM 8
9. Questioning the “utilitarian” model
The rational view (e.g. social exchange theory), that has often been
used to model collaborative systems, appears to be too simplistic and
probably incorrect: Social interaction can not be reduced to a cost
benefit analysis, and sociality involves mechanisms hardwire in the
human brain that are even unconscious.
Questioning “scientific selfishness”
Diverse business and social production models begin to challenge
efficiency, efficacy, and growth-oriented effects of “scientific”
selfishness.
(Yochai Benkler CSCW 2012 keynote speech)
29 Mai 2012 International Doctoral Consortium on ICM 9
10. Challenging the view of human rationality
people are rational agents?
This view is being challenged:
Homo
economicus People are largely influenced by:
greed selfishness
rationality
individualistic their instinct. (Akerlof & Shiller’s
“Animal Spirits”)
People are rational, and self-
their Intuitions (Daniel
interested actors which behavior
Kahneman’s “thinking fast and
is determined by the optimization
slow”)
of their benefit via cost / benefit
calculations. cognitive biases (Dan Ariely’s
“predictably irrational”)
(classical economics theories)
29 Mai 2012 International Doctoral Consortium on ICM 10
11. Towards a more “humanistic” model
The human brain is wired to be social (Man is a social animal).
More realistic models should be able to better take into account the
complexity of the social process, and its “humanity” dimension.
Cooperation is part of human nature
Co-operation and virtue are just as deep rooted parts of human nature as
selfishness
(The Origins of Virtue, Matt Ridley, 1996)
Man is a cooperative specie
The strong interdependence showed between humans, even with nonkin,
might have been a key element of our evolutionary success. An example might
be the high levels of cooperation that humans express with each other, which
are unmatched in the animal world.
Caldú, X., & Dreher, J.-C. (2007).
29 Mai 2012 International Doctoral Consortium on ICM 11
12. The human brain is wired to be social
(Man is a social animal)
Cooperation is rewarding. (reward system in the brain)
In a recent neuroimaging study, fair offers led to higher happiness ratings and
increased activity in several reward regions of the brain compared with unfair
offers of equal monetary value. Other neuroimaging studies have similarly
shown activation in reward regions in response to cooperative partners or
cooperative play.
Tabibnia, G., & Lieberman, M. D. (2007).
Social isolation is a «killer»
The effects of isolation in humans have much in common with the effects of isolation
found in nonhuman social species. Researchers found increased activation of the
brain’s stress systems, vascular resistance, and blood pressure, as well as decreased
inflammatory control, immunity, sleep salubrity, and expression of genes regulating
glucocorticoid responses and oxidative stress. In sum, the health, life, and genetic
legacy of members of most social species are threatened when they find themselves on
the social perimeter.

13. Some modern perspectives & research
on collaboration & socialization
• Alex Pentland: The importance of “social signals” in
human interaction (cf. Honest signals).
• Yochai Benkler: thinking altruism, fairness, … are
challenging the “utilitarian” approach of collaboration
(cf. The Pinguin & the Laviathan)
• Paul Zak: Collaboration can be even be biological with
Oxytocin, the “trust hormone”. Biology of human
interaction.

• Adam Smith, (1759/1790). The Theory of Moral Sentiments
29 Mai 2012 International Doctoral Consortium on ICM 13
14. Approaches for investigating
Collaboration & “sociality”?
Traditional methods in cognitive psychology, psycho sociology as well as
anthropology, can be used to investigate modern perspective of collaboration.
New methods of have now emerged allowing new insight:
• Computational Social Science: consists in using computer for the
capture & analysis of social structures and activities so as to reveal
patterns of individual or group behavior. (cf. the work of Alex Pentland on
the capture & analysis of social signals; or the computer based social
network analysis)
• Agent-based modeling. Based on the construction and execution of
computational models of autonomous agents, it can be used to test
conceptual models of social interaction.
• Social neuroscience methods: is related to research and
understanding of the functioning brain and neural circuitry, via the
physiological observation (e.g. electrodermal measurements; brain
imaging techniques, etc.) and their analysis.
29 Mai 2012 International Doctoral Consortium on ICM 14
15. The “Humanization”
of Management Science
More generally, there is a trend in « Management Science » is at
incorporating « humanity » in the core of its reflection: In the knowledge
society, the human dimension (emotion, biases, “irrationality”, etc.) should
not be considered as a flaw to get rid of (cf. Taylorism of the industrial
revolution) but should be an inherent component of the organization to be
leveraged or to be accommodated.
Examples of research directions:
• Sociality
– The study of the social process is receiving a considerable level of attention (social networking analysis; social
media; social business; … in the new economy everybody is “social”).
• Human (Ir)rationality
– People (and organizations) are not rational agents making optimal decision.
– They are subject to a number of cognitive biases.
• Emotion
– Emotion is now considered in relation to organizational performance (well being or stress of employees).
• Etc.

17. What is Neuroscience?
Neuroscience:
Neuroscience relates to the scientific study of the nervous system and
the brain.
Cognitive neuroscience:
Cognitive neuroscience is an academic field concerned with the
scientific study of biological substrates underlying cognition, with a
specific focus on the neural substrates of mental processes.
Social neuroscience:
Social neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field devoted to
understanding how biological systems implement social processes
and behavior, and to using biological concepts and methods to
inform and refine theories of social processes and behavior.

22. What is Social Neuroscience Investigating?
Among the questions that social neuroscientists are actively
investigating are:
• the effects of social factors on brain and biological functioning;
• the supposed existence of specialized circuits for social functions;
• the nature of interdependencies between genes and social
environments;
• and the biological mechanisms underlying social cognition and
emotions, social connections, social interactions, and group
processes.

23. Social cognitive process
More specifically, social cognitive
neuroscience can be used to investigate
the functioning of:
• trust, impression, reputation
• empathy, mentalizing, emotion,
• altruism, generosity
• fairness, reciprocity, revenge, norms
• attention
29 Mai 2012 International Doctoral Consortium on ICM 23
24. Researches on Collaboration
Using Neuroscience
Social neuroscience has been used for investigating many aspects that
intervenes in “collaboration” at large (i.e. not only online) such as:
altruism, competition, conflict, cultural difference, empathy, fairness,
leadership, mentalizing, perception, reciprocity, the role of hormones
(cf. oxyticin), social reward, trust, etc..
Cf. Slide: “Short bibliography on collaboration”
However significant work would be needed to adapt their finding in the
context of online interaction
(which is actually one of the key question of asynchronous online
collaboration & socialization).
Note: Also, several researches on collaboration (and competition) consist
in experimentation of prisoner's dilemma game (experimental
economics) that are based on monetary evaluation (money is used in
the experimentation), which may not be most pertinent angle for
approaching the more complex social processes.
29 Mai 2012 International Doctoral Consortium on ICM 24
25. Social Neuroscience on Collaboration
Some examples
Let’s looking at some more concrete examples.
The following slides will list researches in neurosciences
that are more specifically focused on the social
perspective of online interaction, and notably at
investigating the functioning of online social systems
(such as Facebook).
29 Mai 2012 International Doctoral Consortium on ICM 25
26. Example: Internet & the structure of the brain
Objective: Gary Small and colleagues have explored how the time
spend on the internet is changing the very structure of their brain
(Small, Moody, Siddarth & Bookheimer 2009).
Experimentation: Practically they have used functional MRI scanning to
observe the difference in activation patterns when performing novel
Internet search between groups of 24 subjects having a minimal or a
significant Internet search engine experience.
Results: They observed that the "Net Savvy group" demonstrated
significant increases in signal intensity in additional regions of the
brain such as in the ones controlling of decision making or complex
reasoning.
They concluded that experience in search may alter the brain’s
responsiveness insome of the brain neural circuits.
29 Mai 2012 International Doctoral Consortium on ICM 26
27. Example: Social network activities
& hormones level (oxytocin)
Objective: The neuroeconomist Paul Zak has explored the influence of
online social related activities on people hormonal level, and therefore
on arousal or on mood.
Experimentation: To do this he has measured the level of hormones
such as oxytocin (associated to generosity and trust), cortisol and
ACTH (associated to biological stress) of people twitting (Penenberg
2010).
Results: The blood analysis shown an example in which 10 minutes after
the starting of twitting, oxytocin levels spiked more than 10 %, and the
stress hormones went down to more between 10% and 15%.
29 Mai 2012 International Doctoral Consortium on ICM 27
28. Example: affective experience of Facebook
Objective: Maurizio et al. (2011) have studies the affective experience
evoked by SNSs.
Experimentation: Specifically, they have recorded skin conductance,
blood volume pulse, electroencephalogram, electromyography,
respiratory activity, and pupil dilation of a group of subjects (30
students) "exposed" to their personal Facebook account and to other
contexts (relaxation and stressful conditions) for a comparison.
Results: They found via the analysis of the psychophysiological data and
pupil dilation that the Facebook experience was significantly different
from the other stress
29 Mai 2012 International Doctoral Consortium on ICM 28
29. Example: Facebook experience
Emotional response
Objective: Kevin Wise and others measured emotional responses of a
group of participants (29 participants) browsing Facebook. They
investigated the difference between passive social browsing (i.e.,
newsfeeds) and extractive social searching (i.e., friends’ profiles).
Experimentation: They using of a set of body sensors (i.e. skin-
conductance) and facial electromyogram (EMG) (Wise, Alhabash and
Park. 2010).
Results: They found that social searching (browsing profiles) was more
pleasant and more used than social browsing (browsing information).
29 Mai 2012 International Doctoral Consortium on ICM 29
30. Example: neural basis of first impression
(verbal versus nonverbal)
Objective: Kuzmanovic et al. (2012) used neuroscience methods to
investigate the neural basis of first impression and more specifically
the difference in the processing of verbal and nonverbal social
information.
Experimentation: 18 participants were exposed to verbal stimuli (i.e.
sentences) and nonverbal stimuli (3 second video clips) of other
persons and their reaction was recorded using fMRI and analysed
(using MATLAB).
Results: They found that the processing of nonverbal information was
more strongly associated with affective processing (cf. amygdala)
whereas verbal information was associated with 'more deliberate'
social inferential processing (precuneus and posterior cingulate

31. Example: functioning of reciprocation
in an interaction
Objective: Phan et al. (2011) have explored the functioning of
reciprocation in an interaction.
Experimentation: They have measured using fMRI the brain responses
of 36 subjects engaged in a repeated trust game experiment
(participants played the role of an investor who must decide whether
to invest 20 monetary units).
Results: They have observed a signal of reciprocity in the ventral
striatum in response to partners who have consistently returned the
investment.

33. Background
The social process is increasingly recognized as a key
determinant of the performance of the firm in the
knowledge economy. Some management science experts
(cf. Kogut) are even proposing that a firm should be
understood as a “social community”.
The development of the social technologies in the enterprise
acknowledges the reality of the recognition of the vision of
a more sociable enterprise (cf. IBM Social Business) by
organizations, and also contribute to its realization.

34. Background (2)
Yet, at the same time it remains difficult for organizations to
fully understand what are the main determinants of
sociality.
• For instance how to assess the reality of the value of
processes that are largely informal?
• What are the elements on which intervene in this sociality,
and how strongly is it “implanted” in the organization?
• How to manage this sociality?

35. Using social neuroscience
to investigate the social process
Neuroscience, by providing the possibility to “sneak” directly in
people brain, is offering a new perspective for investigating
some of human informal processes.
Neuroscience allows us to observe phenomenon that “no one has
seen before”: what is happening in people head when they are
engaged in an interaction.

36. Proposed researches
This research is aimed at a first exploration of using neuroscience to
investigate the social process in online social environment. More
specifically, the objective is to explore the implications and
consequences of “computer mediation” in the social process.
In a first stage, two subjects are been considered for this exploration:
1° Online identity perception:
• Identity is a very important in relation to the construction of trust.
2° Motivation to engage in an online social interaction:
• The level of participation of the members of a virtual community
represent one of the more important element of success.

37. Experiment 1: Online identity perception
(impression, trust).
Background: Identity is an critical ingredient in the social process, since
it is used in the formation of trust which play an important role in the
establishment and the development of a relationship. Identity may also
represent a significant element in people desire to engage and pursuit
a relationship.
Objective: The objective of this first experiment is to investigate using
how people identity is perceived online, and its implication on trust
(first impression, lasting impression), habituation (reduction of
perceived social distance), leadership, etc.
Experiment: Observe a group of subjects in different online social
contexts accessing identity information (people profiles, activity
stream, interactions with others, popularity) of a group of users (that
they know or do not known).

38. Experiment 2: Motivation to engage in an
online social interaction
Background: A very important aspect in collaboration and social
exchange in a serious context is related to the willingness of people to
participate. The recent development of the use of social media seems
to indicate that complex psychological factors (e.g. addiction)
intervene in people engagement.
Objective: The objective is to investigate the motivational aspects that
are involved in people adopting and using online social systems.
Elements & factors that can be investigated include: the reward
system, stimulation, personality trait, perception of self-efficacy, etc.
Experiment: Observe a group of subjects in different online social
contexts, the different elements contributing to their motivation, and in
particular look at how the brain reward system is activated (e.g. social
interaction, fulfillment, etc.) when conducting an online social
activities.
