Das Interesse an der Netzwerkanalyse nimmt rapide zu. Bisher fehlt es jedoch an empirisch orientierten Einführungen. Das interdisziplinäre Autorenteam führt daher praxisorientiert in die Grundlagen und Methoden der empirischen Analyse sozialer Netzwerke ein. Schritt für Schritt wird der Forschungsprozess von der Untersuchungsplanung über die Auswertungsmethodik bis zur Präsentation der Ergebnisse erläutert. Damit ist das Lehrbuch für den Einsatz in Lehre, Forschung und Praxis geeignet. This textbook provides an introduction to the process of empirical network research. In an action-oriented approach, it features explicated learning goals, numerous reference examples, and exercises that facilitate successful learning. Integrating their different disciplinary perspectives, the authors address an interdisciplinary audience of teachers, researchers, and practitioners alike.
Based on the overall digitalization in all spheres of our lives, Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are nowadays cornerstones for innovation, problem solutions, and business transformation. Data, whether structured or unstructured, numerical, textual, or audiovisual, put in context with other data or analyzed and processed by smart algorithms, are the basis for intelligent concepts and practical solutions. These solutions address many application areas such as Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things (IoT), smart cities, smart energy generation, and distribution, and environmental management. Innovation dynamics and business opportunities for effective solutions for the essential soci...
This report assesses challenges for unit cohesion from integrating women into special operations forces and provides analytical support for validating occupational standards for positions controlled by U.S. Special Operations Command.
Recent research shows that collaboration and social networking foster knowledge sharing and innovation by sparking new connections, ideas, and practices. Yet these informal networks are often misunderstood and poorly managed. Building on the groundbreaking, bestselling first edition, Knowledge Management Handbook: Collaboration and Social Networkin
This volume includes the papers presented at the 24th International Conference on Information Integration and Web Intelligence (iiWAS 2022), organized in conjunction with 24th International Conference on Advances in Mobile Computing & Multimedia Intelligence (MoMM2022). The dominant research focus of submitted papers was artificial intelligence and machine learning. The accepted papers presented advances and innovations in an array of areas such as internet of things, virtual and augmented reality, various business applications. iiWAS 2022 attracted 97 papers, from which the Program Committee selected 26 regular papers and 25 short papers. Due to safety concerns as well as other restrictions preventing travel and gatherings, it was decided to organize iiWAS 2022 as a virtual conference.
This book explores the big data evolution by interrogating the notion that big data is a disruptive innovation that appears to be challenging existing epistemologies in the humanities and social sciences. Exploring various (controversial) facets of big data such as ethics, data power, and data justice, the book attempts to clarify the trajectory of the epistemology of (big) data-driven science in the humanities and social sciences.
A methodological toolkit for social scientists to create their own infrastructure for collecting and analyzing social media big data.
Politics is intuitively about relationships, but until recently the network perspective has not been a dominant part of the methodological paradigm that political scientists use to study politics. This volume is a foundational statement about networks in the study of politics.
This edited volume seeks to explore established as well as emergent forms of governance by combining social network analysis and governance research. In doing so, contributions take into account the increasingly complex forms which governance faces, consisting of different types of actors (e.g. individuals, states, economic entities, NGOs, IGOs), instruments (e.g. law, suggestions, flexible norms) and arenas from the local up to the global level, and which more and more questions theoretical models that have focused primarily on markets and hierarchies. The topics addressed in this volume are processes of coordination, arriving at and implementing decisions taking place in network(ed) (social) structures; such as governance of work relations, of financial markets, of innovation and politics. These processes are investigated and discussed from sociologists’, political scientists’ and economists’ viewpoints.
This volume explores decision-making styles, including cooperative, collaborative, avoidant, competitive, and dominate that are commonly modified by the culture. Culture is not a stagnant phenomenon, and many variables need to be considered to accurately evaluation cultural differences in decision-making styles. Among many cultural factors, the ind
