摘要

在线创新竞赛是一个生态系统，在这个生态系统中，机构通过平台中介从知识工作者那里获得大量解决方案。通过考虑个体竞争者在竞争生态系统协作网络中的社会定位如何影响其表现，我们说明了社交网络对在线竞争中个体结果的价值。该研究报告了Kaggle的结果，Kaggle是一个流行的数据科学在线竞赛平台，在4年的时间里，350,956名用户参加了2,789场比赛。我们调查了合作的数量、网络中最大连接组件的成员数量以及合作经验的多样性如何影响所获得的积分和奖牌，以及竞争对手获得第一枚奖牌的速度。结果表明，在竞争生态系统中，企业定位与绩效呈正相关。与未来的工作相关，该研究考虑了未来工作场所的知识工作者应该如何管理他们的在线协作。

Positioning in a collaboration network and performance in competitions: a case study of Kaggle

Online innovation competitions are ecosystems where institutions source numerous solutions from knowledge workers through a platform intermediary. By considering how an individual competitor’s performance varies based on their social positioning in a competition ecosystem’s collaboration network, we illustrate the value of social networks for individual outcomes in online competitions. The study reports results from Kaggle, a popular online competition platform for data science, where a sample of 350,956 users participated in 2,789 competitions over 4 years. We investigate how the number of collaborations, membership in the largest connected component in the network, and diversity of collaboration experiences impact the points and medals earned and how quickly competitors earn their first medal. Results show that positioning has a positive relationship with performance in competitive ecosystems. Relevant to the future of work, the study considers how knowledge workers in future workplaces should manage their online collaborations.
