Social networks is a field of study that focuses on social relations among a set of actors-people, teams, and organizations-rather than focusing exclusively on the attributes of the actors. Network researchers have developed a set of distinctive theoretical perspectives and methodological techniques for collecting data, statistical analysis, and visual representation.
Those wishing an introduction to social networks analysis should make plans to attend this PDW at this year's AOM conference. Pre-registration is not required for this PDW.
