Abstract

비즈니스 조직에서 집단지성을 경쟁우위의 중요한 요소로 활용하는 사례가 증가하고 있다. 인터넷과 소셜 네트워크 서비스는 물론이고 위키와 같은 편집도구 등은 집단지성을 가능하게 하는 대표적인 정보기술이다. 그러나 집단지성은 전문가 지식에서와는 다른 품질의 문제가 제기되기도 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 집단지성의 품질에 영향을 주는 요인을 분석하는데 그 목적이 있다. 선행연구를 통해 집단지성의 품질에 영향을 주는 개인의 동기(love, money, glory, professional development), 집단특성(expertise, diversity, size), 집단지성의 도구(navigating, usefulness, agility, user preference) 차원에서 총 11개의 영향요인을 파악하였다. 조직 경쟁우위의 핵심으로 집단지성을 활용하는 대표적인 성공사례인 Threadless, InnoCentive, iStockphoto, Panda Security, Wikipedia를 분석하여 3개 차원에서 11개의 명제를 제안하였다. 사례분석의 결과, 개인의 동기, 집단특성, 집단지성을 위한 도구는 집단지성의 품질에 긍정적 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 예를 들어, 개인적 동기가 뚜렷하고 다양한 특성을 지닌 다수가 참여할수록 소집단에서보다 더 잘 문제를 해결하고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 집단지성의 품질을 개선하고 이를 통해 혜택을 얻기 위해서 조직에서는 다양성을 지닌 대규모 커뮤니티를 구성하고, 참여에 대한 동기를 부여하고, 적절한 집단지성의 도구를 선택하여 활용하여야 한다.
