Research on Maker Capital from the Perspective of Social Network

Revealing the connotation and characteristics of maker capital is helpful to deeply explore the relationship between maker and economic and social development. Using the methods of keyword co-occurrence, social network analysis and grounded theory, this paper analyzes 148 literatures, 21 interview data composed of makers and CEO's of mass makerspace and web text data. Social network analysis found that the Internet, digital economy and sharing economy are the important driving forces for the development of maker. Maker can jump out of the limitation of time and space with the help of the mass maker space social network, use network resources to participate in public innovation activities, and form a value co-creation relationship with the social network to promote collaborative innovation and platform ecosystem construction. The results of grounded theory analysis show that creative production, open collaboration, network symbiosis and marginal non-scarcity are the four core characteristics of maker capital, which confirms the results of social network analysis. Based on the above analysis results, this paper further defines the connotation of maker capital based on social network theory, and proposes that the interaction mechanism between maker capital and network scenario and its results and effects need to be deeply explored in the future.
