Abstract

There are filled with accredited journals and candidated journals which are published by 46 societies and 4 university research institutes in the management field. In these circumstances, it is important to create a virtuous circle of sharing and diffusing knowledge through socialization of knowledge, externalization of knowledge, combination of knowledge, and internalization of knowledge for the sustainable growth of Korean Corporation Management Review. So network analysis of research collaborations in Korean Corporation Management Review is useful to create a virtuous circle because researchers and research facilities participated in the collaboration research network not only share the ideas and the techniques of the research but also influence other researchers and other research facilities. In this paper, we analyzed the flow of knowledge in the collaborative research network of Korean Corporation Management Review. Our research methodology consisted of the following three steps. In the first step, we collected author data and research facility data from articles which is published in Korean Corporation Management Review from 1994 to 2012, and then we built 2 matrices called 2 mode data . One is comprised of articles and authors. The other is comprised of articles and research facilities. In the second step, we transformed 2 mode data to 1 mode data called adjacency matrix for the construction of the co-authorship network and co-research facility network, respectively. In the last step, we performed 3 analyses on each network. One is the structure analysis which is an analysis for computing degree, density, diameter and so on in the network level. Another is the component analysis which is an analysis for searching strongly connected sub-network. And the other is the centrality analysis which is an analysis for computing degree centrality and the betweenness centrality in the node level. Through the network analysis, the results were as follows; First, co-authorship network and co-affiliation network formed small-worlds because average diameter of two networks is less than 6 from 1994 to 2012. Second, lots of researchers of the collaborative research network in Korean Corporation Management Review worked alone rather than in collaborative teams. Third, Busan formed an important research region in the early years since Korean Corporation Management Review was first issued in 1994. But, Seoul and Gyeonggi Province became the core of the research clusters after Korean Corporation Management Review was selected as accredited journal by National Research Foundation of Korea. Fourth, degree centrality and betweenness centrality of researchers in Busan were high in the early years but those in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province were high later. From the our results, we found several implications for he sustainable growth of Korean Corporation Management Review. First, Korean Corporation Management Association need to serve as the useful platform for promoting the communication with the authors who have the high degree centrality or high between centrality to boost collaborative researches. Second, Korean Corporation Management Association need to accept good researchers who live in Gangwon Province, Chungcheong Province, and Jeonna Province as board members to grow a society nationwide in its scope. We expect the results will contribute to the sustainable growth of Korean Corporation Management Review.
