Technological innovation, digitalisation, innovation agents, social network analysis, olive groveAbstract
The configuration of the social network of knowledge transfer in digital transformation (DT) in the Andalusian olive sector is analysed using Social Network Analysis techniques. The results indicate that universities and technology companies are the main knowledge emitting agents, while olive growers and cooperatives are the main receiving agents. The social network of DT has a high potential for the creation of social capital, however, most of the interactions established between actors are of very low intensity, which could lead to some actors being isolated from knowledge in DT.
