Brass, Giuseppe Labianca chusetts Institute of Technology MIT began studying the effects of different communication Over the past decade, there has been an explosion of interest in network research across the network structures on the speed and accuracy physical and social sciences. For social scientists, the theory of networks has been a gold mine, with which a group could solve problems Fig.
The more centralized structures, such as the economics. Here, we review the kinds of things that social scientists have tried to explain using star structure, outperformed decentralized struc- social network analysis and provide a nutshell description of the basic assumptions, goals, and tures, such as the circle, even though it could be explanatory mechanisms prevalent in the field. We hope to contribute to a dialogue among shown mathematically that the circle structure researchers from across the physical and social sciences who share a common interest in had, in principle, the shortest minimum solution understanding the antecedents and consequences of network phenomena.

Probably the best method-focused book on social network analysis I have ever read. Clear structure, precise language, great examples.
Can not recommend this enough for researchers and students who are interested in learning about social network analysis. I would not recommend it for bachelor level students as it seems too in-depth to be pure introductory material.

Advances in technology-mediated environments further help individuals develop connections with their colleagues who may or may not be collocated.
This embeddedness creates inertial pressures on individuals and constrains them to conform to firm norms and thus stay with the firm. In this paper, we examine whether ties to those who quit the firm can trump the feeling of connection to the firm and thus motivate subsequent quit decisions. We argue that individuals with a greater number of defectors in their project affiliation networks are more likely than others to leave the firm and the influence on those focal individuals will be higher when they are collocated and occupy similar professional roles as the affiliated defectors.
We analyze complete project affiliation data linking geographically distributed employees at a multi-national high technology firm across five years to test these arguments. During this time employees voluntarily left the firm. The findings support our arguments and suggest that project affiliation networks in such settings occasion social comparisons among employees and serve as conduits for the diffusion of their career mobility decisions.
We discuss the implications of our work for managing voluntary turnover in knowledge intensive distributed organizations.
