12. Conclusions The first important conclusion is that using a carefully designed social learning network reduces the learning time in the some ERP technologies. By choosing the design presented here, this reduction in training time can be highly significant from 24 months, which is the ‘‘classical’’ industry standard, to 6–7 months. This is an important means to bridge the gap between the level of the average university graduate and the skills demanded by international consulting companies. A second conclusion is that the efficiency of this process is greatly influenced by factors that can be controlled by the organizers. Incentives are very important in this process and choosing them carefully has a major impact on the efficiency of the process. Seductive prizes appear to have the greatest impact on efficiency. A possible explanation for this is that learning occurs by interacting within a social network and such prizes stimulate the creation of networks. These results can be used to design strategies for accelerating the educational process of young software developers who are needed in today’s rapidly growing knowledge-based economy. We are now in discussions with many large companies that are interested in creating teams of skilled software experts in Eastern Europe. Other investigators who want to use this method are advised to pay attention to the participants’ ages, the maturity of the computer science department of the university they are partnering with, and ensure that there is active support by consulting companies where the students will acquire their episodic knowledge. The sponsorship of high level management is mandatory for successfully creating a social learning network. A social learning network is like a living organism, as it needs to be cared for on a daily basis to ensure its proper growth. Regarding future research, we intend to use different motivational factors and test the efficiency of these sessions. Another area of interest is to use a tool for mapping the links that are created between the members of the learning community. This tool should track the messages exchanged by the members and identify the relationships among them.
