9. ImplicaFons
for
organizaFons
• The
transformaFon
towards
using
new
digital
technologies
(e.g.,
social
media,
mobile,
analyFcs
or
embedded
devices)
will
become
criFcal
to
many
organizaFons
in
a
wide
range
of
industries
within
the
next
two
years
(Fitzgerald,
Kruschwitz,
Bonnet,
&
Welch,
2013).
11. Role
of
gatekeepers
• Internet
technologies
have
dramaFcally
altered
how
knowledge
workers
source
and
share
their
knowledge
as
the
gatekeeper
role
—bridging
internal
and
external
knowledge—
is
more
distributed
and
linked
to
the
use
of
technology
(Whelan,
Teigland,
Donnellan,
&
Willie,
2010).
32. Visibility
&
ReputaFon
• “Marcel

hoping
for
internet
access
[…].
He’s
the
AOM’s
biggest
tweeter,
FYI.”
• “Thanks
for
the
retweet
on
the
CFP.
Having
you
retweet
it
was
part
of
our
markeFng
strategy.

• Invited
for
academic
and
corporate
events,
projects,
papers,
etc.

44. A
note
of
cauFon?
• “Kardashian
Index”
– A
measure
of
discrepancy
between
a
scienFst’s
social

profile
and
publicaFon
record
based
on
the
direct
comparison
of
numbers
of
citaFons
and
TwiXer
followers.

perspecFve.
See
you
“around”!
