Dana M Boyd describes the online social networks as “web-based services that allow people to build a public or public-private profile within a bounded system, to establish a list of other users with whom they share a connection, and to examine the list of links created by other users in the system.” In social networks the goal is understanding, establishing and maintaining contacts, or working on a specific cause. The typical and widely-known social networks are Facebook, Linkedin, Myspace, etc. Another definition of the term “social network” says that “The social network is a social structure of nodes (representing mostly individuals or organizations) linked by specific types of nodes such as ideas, opinions, financial benefits, friendship, tradition, hyperlinks and more. In its simplest form, the social network is a map of all the relative links between nodes that are being studied. These concepts are usually represented by a social network diagram, where nodes are the points and ties are the lines.”

Scientific Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Sociology - Basics and General, , language: English, abstract: The concept of social networks and their methods of analysis have attracted the interest and curiosity of researchers in the social sciences and behavioral sciences over the past decades. Most of this interest in analyzing social networks focuses on under-standing the relationships between social structures as well as the patterns and impacts of these relationships. Many researchers have recognized that the analysis of networks brings a new impetus to the answer of the classical research questions of sociology and behavioral sciences, giving precise formal definitions of the political, economic or social structural environment. From the point of view of the analysis of social networks, the social environment can be expressed through graphs in the relations between the interacting units.

Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Marketing, Corporate Communication, CRM, Market Research, Social Media, grade: 1.8, , language: English, abstract: In the contemporary world, there is no business without communication. To most entrepreneurs in the 21st century, social media use in business is seemingly the "next big thing". The emergence of an online technology that allows reaching of big crowds without necessarily meeting them has presented a temporary yet essential fad that ought to be appropriately made use of while it is still in the spotlight. To this group of entrepreneurs, reaching out the virtual market has presented itself as a stepping-stone to, not only establish their brands, but also to make it earn acceptance in the market. Others have even gone further to establish online shops where customers can easily order and wait for their products to be delivered without having to necessarily visit the product stores. Unfortunately, however, there exists a population to which social media marketing is a buzzword without any practical advantage and steep. They envision it to be a complicated learning curve that further makes their business life unexpectedly complex. With regards to the different approaches to social media, this paper will look at both the negative and the positive aspects of using social media as a tool for running business operations.

In this thesis, I examine how information, information technology, and social networks affect information worker productivity. The work is divided into three essays based on tracking detailed communication patterns of information workers in the high-tech industry. Essay 1: "Social Network Effects on Performance and Layoffs: Evidence from the Adoption of a Social Networking Tool." By studying the changes in employees' networks and performance before and after the introduction of a social networking tool, I find that a structurally diverse network (low in cohesion and rich in structural holes) has a positive effect on work performance. The size of the effect is smaller than traditional estimates, suggesting that omitted individual characteristics may bias the estimated network effect. I consider two intermediate mechanisms by which a structurally diverse network is theorized to improve work performance, information diversity (instrumental) and social communication (expressive), and quantify their effects on two types of work outcomes: billable revenue and layoffs. Analysis shows that the information diversity derived from a structurally diverse network is more correlated with generating billable revenue than is social communication. However, the opposite is true for layoffs. Friendship, as approximated by social communication, is more correlated with reduced layoff risks than is information diversity. Field interviews suggest that friends can serve as advocates in critical situations, ensuring that favorable information is distributed to decision makers. This, in turn, suggests that having a structurally diverse network can drive both work performance and job security, but that there is a tradeoff between either mobilizing friendship or gathering diverse information. Essay 2: "Identification of Influence: An Experimental Platform for Understanding the Relationship between Social Networks and Performance." This study creates an experimental platform for identifying the relationship between social networks and performance. While a large body of literature has examined the correlations between certain network topologies and performance, little research has shown a definitive causal linkage. I address this problem through conducting three sets of randomized field experiments using an on-line experimental platform at a large information technology firm. The platform enables randomly selected employees to achieve certain network characteristics. By examining work performance before and after the experiment, I plan to show the causal relationship between networks and productivity. Essay 3: "Water Cooler Networks: Performance Implications of Informal Face-to-Face Interaction Structures in Information-Intensive Work." This study examines the performance characteristics of face-to-face interaction networks and finds that their structural properties are important for effective knowledge transfer and productivity. We argue that network theory should incorporate the implications of media choice, and particularly differences between face-to- face and electronic communication, when assessing how networks affect individual performance. We introduce a new methodology, using Sociometric badges, to record precise data on face-to-face interaction networks for a group of workers in a large IT manufacturing firm over a one-month period. Linking these data to detailed performance metrics, we find that 1) network cohesion is associated with higher worker productivity, in contrast to previous findings in email data; 2) cohesion in face-to-face networks is associated with even higher performance during complex tasks, suggesting that cohesion complements information-rich media for transferring the complex knowledge needed to complete such tasks; 3) while information-seeking from many colleagues creates disruptions, more interactions with a few key strong-tie informants speeds up work. Face-to-face networks have more explanatory power than physical-proximity networks, suggesting that information flows in actual conversations (rather than individuals' correlated exposure to common environmental factors through physical proximity) are driving our results. These results augment our understanding of how media choice and network structure interact, shedding light on the organizational effects of face-to-face interaction. The methods and techniques we introduce are replicable, creating opportunities for new lines of research into the consequences of face-to-face interaction in organizations.

The past decade has witnessed an explosive growth of social media. It has never been so easy for customers to connect and interact with each other within various forms of social networks. This trend provides companies with unprecedented opportunities to enhance firm-customer relationships by leveraging the power of social influence among customers. However, it also poses potential risks when negative word-of-mouth gets viral on customer networks. The traditional customer relationship management (CRM) research treats customers independently, which might no longer apply to today's networked customers. Therefore, this dissertation investigates approaches to embed social network analysis components into customer relationship management techniques, thus finding a way to harness the power of social influence to improve the efficiency of companies' CRM efforts. Essay 1 of this dissertation studies the "group-to-one" social influence of strong and weak ties within a social network, with a framework of a social interaction model, a social influence model, and a tie strength measure. It is found that the social influence mechanism through strong and weak ties is complex. Sharing and reciprocity play an important role in the way social influence affects customers' purchasing behaviors. It is also found that, as a whole, weak ties are more influential than strong ties. Essay 2 attempts to model customers' defection decisions within a social network. By jointly estimating a dyadic level tie strength model and an individual level defection decision model, it is found that customers who actively interact with others tend to have strong ties with them. Also, customers with strong ties tend to have stronger influence on other customers' defections than customers with weak ties. In this essay, a new approach to measure customers' social network value is also proposed. Essay 3 discusses the promising research opportunities in integrating social network analysis (SNA) components into customer relationship management (CRM). It briefly reviews the four critical aspects of CRM: acquisition, retention, growth, and firm-customer relationship dynamics. Within each aspect the discussion focuses on the possible impact of social network components on CRM models, and how to combine CRM and SNA in modeling efforts.
