What can we do with BaleeGraph?

Abstract

Realizing co-creation is essential to generating business profits and achieving social goals. Co-creation involves the achievement of goals through the mutual complementation of multiple entities that cannot be achieved through individual activities alone. Recently, BaleeGraph, a method for visualizing co-creation, has been proposed. BaleeGraph has been used in several companies, in a workshop of an association promoting the use of data, and in university lectures. In the former half, this paper demonstrates the use of BaleeGraph to investigate visualization results available on the BaleeGraph website (baleegraph.com). While primarily proposed for studying the complementary relationships between teams in an organization, their evolution over time, and their connection to societal goals, this paper confirmed that BaleeGraph is also effective for studying the relationships between characters in movies, competitive relationships in markets and the composition of investment portfolios. In the latter half, we show that BaleeGraph is effective for quantitative time series analysis, too.
