noted that it is not necessary to attend all sessions, but the cost is
the same whether you attend one, two or three. Note that sessions 2a and
2b are offered concurrently.
This is a 1-day session for those who would like to brush up on the
mathematics underlying social network analysis. No prior knowledge of
math is assumed, nor is this workshop a pre-requisite for the
others. UCINET and Microsoft Excel software are used for calculations...more
This is a 3-day workshop that introduces participants to the theory
and methods of social network analysis. Participants are trained in the
UCINET and NETDRAW software programs... more
This is a 3-day workshop for participants who already have some
experience with network analysis, but would like to learn (a) much more
about UCINET and NETDRAW (including powerful undocumented features),
(b) understand the details behind such measures as Bonacich Power (and
the related Katz and Hubbell measures), and (c) tackle thorny analysis
issues, such as missing data, working with large datasets, and
translating research questions to analysis procedures. Additional topics
will be solicited from participants. ...more
This will be a one day workshop that will focus on how the methods and
concepts of network analysis can be used to advance organizational
research and consulting. In particular, the workshop will: a) draw on
classic and current network research to clearly identify what network
reasoning consists of and what makes it different from other theoretical
approaches in organizational studies; b) discuss a range of prospects
and problems in contemporary organizational network research; and c)
offer practical guidance on how to strengthen research design and frame
network research for top organizational journals.
