> Teresa Passos asked for help to find material for social networks evaluation.
First, there are some excellent dissertations that discuss S.N. evaluation and
methods. Good dissertations offer have a lot more detail than articles I
recommend:
"STRATEGIC FLEXIBILITY AND PERFORMANCE IN THE GLOBAL STEEL INDUSTRY: THE ROLE
OF INTERFIRM LINKAGES (NETWORK ARCHITECTURE)" 1996 by Ravi Madhavan. It is
available from
http://wwwlib.umi.com/dissertations #AAT 9718621 in both
printed form and online (digital PDF file). (or InterLibrary loan from Univ.
of Pittsburgh).
Second, as announced on this list previously, there is a SOCIAL NETWORKS
RESEARCH WORKSHOP coming up on Saturday, August 5, 2000, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm at
the
Sheraton Centre, York (Mezzanine); Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The top
researchers in Social Networks will be there and offer advice and point you to
key sources and dissertations. Consider emailing Nick Athanassiou at
nickath@neu.edu:
* a 100-200 word paragraph describing your interest in social networks
* your university affiliation, address, e-mail, and telephone/fax numbers
and see about making the trip to Canada.
