Study of the Effect of a Social Communications on Success of Innovation Project
Communications serve as the environment for integrating project participants, transforming them from individual office players into the cohesive project team. From the perspective of project management practitioners, communications and relations between project participants turn into essential project success factors. Taken together, formal and informal social ties of project network participants compose communication environment of the project. Connections' character and structure influence project management performance and therefore can be potentially seen as indicators of project success. In the present paper the approach based on social network analysis techniques is applied for assessing possible impact of social communications on performance of engineering projects.
