Dominant Cognitive Frames and the Innovative Power of Social Networks
通过比较英国国家卫生服务体系中的两个知识转化网络，研究了社会网络结构与主导认知框架如何共同影响网络的创新力量，揭示了网络组织形式面临的挑战。
In this paper, we illustrate the link between social network structures, dominant cognitive frames on network purpose and the innovative power of a network, through a mixed-method comparative analysis of two knowledge translation networks (KTNs) in the English National Health Service (NHS). Our findings illustrate several challenges for networked forms of organization linked to different manifestations of social networks (centralized/decentralized) and dominant cognitive frames (polarizing/loosely clustered). Our paper contributes a better understanding of how dominant frames on network purpose emerge alongside the development of network structure itself, and explores how this interplay between dominant frames and social networks impacts upon the collaborative work that supports the network’s innovative power.
