Qualities of Interest for Spontaneous Networked Organizations

In spontaneous networked organizations, or any dynamic open organizations, autonomous agents must interact among themselves to achieve their goals. Agents usually interact, with which they have no experience, due to the scale and dynamism in these organizations. Each agent must, therefore, achieve certain qualities of interests in order to be capable of amalgamating fast. In light of this, we construct qualities of interest for a spontaneous networked organization. Theoretical aspects will be described including social harmony, coherence and spontaneity and their effect on the interaction process among agents inside such a collaborative organization. This study helps to improve the social capital of any networked organization. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
