The intention of this work is to provide a study based on Patent
Data from the Spanish National Association of Manufacturers of Frits, Glazes and
Ceramic Colours, ANFFECC. The research makes use of the social network analysis
(SNA) methodology in order to help us understand knowledge sharing within the
innovation process. Following a summary of the basics of social network analysis, it is
examined how and why innovation can benefit from knowledge exchange. The
evidence shows the behavioural relationships between actors within organisations and
the sharing of knowledge as a solid indicator of innovation. The main contribution is to
detect, select and create networks of inventors for each group of companies within
ANFFECC. The ancillary data is contrasted with the information of the patent data, and
these results are then fed into special programs for social network analysis. The main
objective is to understand how knowledge and innovation spread among the members
of an organization. The most important node is connected with peripheral points and
there is also knowledge flow among organizations. The results show that the larger and
more diversified the company is, and the more inventors and patients are implicated in
a wide range of projects, the greater the resulting level of innovation can be expected
to be. The work concludes with a discussion of the implications of knowledge diffusion. [-]
