\u003cb\u003eA comprehensive introduction to social network analysis that hones in on basic centrality measures, social links, subgroup analysis, data sources, and more\u003c/b\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten by military, industry, and business professionals, this book introduces readers to social network analysis, the new and emerging topic that has recently become of significant use for industry, management, law enforcement, and military practitioners for identifying both vulnerabilities and opportunities in collaborative networked organizations.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFocusing on models and methods for the analysis of organizational risk, \u003ci\u003eSocial Network Analysis with Applications\u003c/i\u003e provides easily accessible, yet comprehensive coverage of network basics, centrality measures, social link theory, subgroup analysis, relational algebra, data sources, and more. Examples of mathematical calculations and formulas for social network measures are also included.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlong with practice problems and exercises, this easily accessible book covers:\u003c/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe basic concepts of networks, nodes, links, adjacency matrices, and graphs\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMathematical calculations and exercises for centrality, the basic measures of degree, betweenness, closeness, and eigenvector centralities\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGraph-level measures, with a special focus on both the visual and numerical analysis of networks\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMatrix algebra, outlining basic concepts such as matrix addition, subtraction, multiplication, and transpose and inverse calculations in linear algebra that are useful for developing networks from relational data\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMeta-networks and relational algebra, social links, diffusion through networks, subgroup analysis, and more\u003c/li\u003e \u003c/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn excellent resource for practitioners in industry, management, law enforcement, and military intelligence who wish to learn and apply social network analysis to their respective fields, \u003ci\u003eSocial Network Analysis with Applications\u003c/i\u003e is also an ideal text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate level courses and workshops on the subject.\u003c/p\u003e |
