This study investigates how social network theories can be used to design and manage a web-based digital city that connects entrepreneurs to influential factors of innovation (e g.,

With the advancements in communication technology, social networking model can be applied in developing a digital city.
Starting from the conception of building social network based web sites in 1999 the focus on this area has increased significantly
Although both digital cities and social networks could carry out major social and economic advancements (Ishida 2002a & 2002b), limited research exists to apply social network concepts to design
and construct a digital city to enhance innovation success. Therefore, the objective of this study is to apply theories from social network and
digital city in designing a web-based digital city as a means of connecting individuals to influential factors of
innovation and, consequently, improve probabilities of innovation success The structure of the paper is as follows:

and managing a social network based digital city. This case study presents different means and designs to strengthen an individual†s social network,
to connect individuals to influential factors of innovation, and to obtain support needed during the innovation process.

As a result, the network growth rate of digital cities is much higher than traditional social networks.
Without the physical boundaries, digital cities impart and enhance benefits of traditional social networks across time and space and
accelerate and globalize the networking process (Lea et al. 2006). ) Furthermore, a digital city can easily support and
