Organizational network analysis

Organizational network analysis is a method for studying communication^[1] and socio-technical networks within a formal organization. It is a quantitative descriptive technique for creating statistical and graphical models of the people, tasks, groups, knowledge and resources of organizational systems. It is based on social network theory^[2] and more specifically, dynamic network analysis.

Web-based tools and services are available that can help people perform network analyses.
