«« New Directions in Social Network Analysis (SNA) and Business »»

The current "social networking" applications use sophisticated methods
of searching through links of acquaintences to find paths from one
person to another. The primary purpose of this is sales or sales
related activity like finding a job (selling your labor) or finding a
date. Understanding the structure of the networks can tell us so much
more and increase innovation, help organizations work better, help
create better products and much more.

The Institute for Social Network Analysis of the Economy and swissnex
are launching a mini-conference on Feb. 14 with key speakers in the SNA
field. In addition Stanford graduate students from Mark Granovetter's
Silicon Valley Network Analysis Project and Woody Powell's group
present hands-on SNA projects.
