ABSTRACT

The research concerns the meta-network (multimodal) approach to an IT sector organisation where employees, knowledge, resources (intangible assets), tasks, and value creation play a key role and are dependent on each other. At the centre of considerations is the look at value creation from intangible assets understood, inter alia, as legally protected software. A meta-network approach was used to identify and measure influential network nodes using out-degree and in-degree centralities and visualisation of two-mode networks. Each network is two-mode, which illustrates the multimodal approach to human behaviour in an organisation understood as interaction with resources, tasks performed, or value creation. Influential nodes were identified and the network was correlated using the quadratic assignment procedure (QAP). Value creation in the network perspective is a consequence of interactions and interdependencies occurring between the knowledge network, the resource network, and the task network. The concept of this research is a valuable and innovative approach for managers who, in the network approach to the analysis of value creation and intangible assets, will see a comprehensive vein to employee behaviour in organisational conditions based on relationships and interactions.
