In this paper, we explore this interaction, asking how an occupation’s identity shapes and is shaped by its interactions with a new technology. We focus, specifically, on the relationship between librarians and Internet search. Drawing on an analysis of 22 years of articles from library journals, we demonstrate how and why librarians initially discounted Internet search and differentiated themselves from it. We argue that these responses were associated with a “paradox of expertise,” by which librarians failed to innovate with one of the most important information technologies in history, despite their identity as masters of information. Later, however, we demonstrate how librarians engaged with this same technology, drawing upon it to redefine their occupational identity. Our findings demonstrate how occupational identity conditions the interpretation of a technology, while also showing how these interpretations can change with ongoing interactions. We also illustrate how occupational identity itself can change in response to new technology. Finally, we elaborate upon why expert insiders may not actually be best positioned to pursue emerging technologies.","PeriodicalId":301526,"journal":{"name":"Sociology of Innovation eJournal","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133899112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This framework claims that strong social interactions between enthusiastic supporters of a project weave a network based on positive feedback, leading to widespread endorsement and extraordinary commitment by those involved in the respective project, beyond what would be rationalized by a standard cost-benefit analysis. As a case study, we analyse a Future and Emerging Technology (FET) Flagship candidate, called FuturICT. Specifically, we examine the efforts of the project management to build and promote the project by creating positive feedback loops of rein-forcing behaviours. We found that the expectations fostered by the promoters of the FuturICT idea was not shared by everyone involved in the project; first and foremost because several of the participants did not fully endorse the overall vision and goals. As a consequence, those not unified under the umbrella of the core vision built niches for themselves. These niches were, however, stimulating enough to entice the scholars to stay with the project. With regard to risk-taking, many appeared to be well aware of the risks involved. Those who were ready to take some risk did it mainly based on a force of habit rather than being enthused by the vision and goals. On the other hand, risk taking was found especially during workshops and meetings. This was in the form of the time allocation of participants, who seemed to not count their precious time given to the project. The FuturICT project thus seems to qualify as a social bubble in the making when considered at the group level, while risk-perception at the individual level remained higher than expected.","PeriodicalId":301526,"journal":{"name":"Sociology of Innovation eJournal","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116180393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We evaluate this statement with a focus on groups of PhD students. Using an established technique in computer science, the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), we construct a novel measure of the dispersion of PhD students' research interests based on their dissertation abstracts and relate it to PhD group publications and citations. We use a rich dataset on groups of PhD students who studied at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland, during the 1993-2008 period. We find robust evidence that within-group knowledge specialization is associated with a larger number of publications. However, beyond a critical level, specialization hinders the group's publication output. We find similar results for the likelihood that the number of citations received by the group's publications falls in the last quartile. We interpret these results as an indication that gains, in terms of greater research output, can be achieved if PhD students specialize according to their different comparative advantages for the research areas that the group investigates. However, beyond a certain level, knowledge specialization has a detrimental impact on research output, due to increasing communication costs and to an increased likelihood of conflict insurgence.","PeriodicalId":301526,"journal":{"name":"Sociology of Innovation eJournal","volume":"1985 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130606786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
