Organization and Management Theory OMT

We hope you'll join us for the "Advanced Networks PDW: Cutting-Edge Theory, Methods, and ERGM Workshop" on Saturday Aug 5, 2017 4:30PM - 8:30PM in the Atlanta Marriott's Marquis Atrium A601.

This is program submission 10703, session 449.  There is NO COST to attend the PDW and pre-registration is not required. This PDW is sponsored by the OMT.

Social networks is a field of study that focuses on relations among a set of actors. Network researchers have developed a set of distinctive theoretical perspectives and methodological techniques for collecting data, statistical analysis, and visual representation. This PDW's goals are to:

* Highlight the use of linguistic analysis from large-scale email content linked to organizational social networks

* Illustrate theorizing and methods around relational event modeling

* Explore the personality correlates of Simmelian brokers

* Create greater depth in theory about how brokers think and act

Workshop Presentations:

1.  Shipilov, Fagan, Labianca:  How Brokers Think (using linguistic analysis from email content during a merger)

2. Quintane, Carnabuci: How Do Brokers Broker? Tertius Gaudens, Tertius Iungens, and the Temporality of Structural Holes (using relational event modeling to study micro-mechanisms)
3. Kilduff, Tasselli: When Brokerage Between Friendship Cliques Endangers Trust

4. Eric Quintane: Introductory workshop on the use of ERGM

·       Exponential Random Graph Models (ERGMs) are a family of statistical models used in social networks. They allow researchers to compare observed networks with the set of all possible alternative networks, permitting inference about the relative frequency of network substructures of theoretical interest, disambiguating the influence of confounding processes, efficiently representing complex structures, and linking local-level processes to global-level properties.
