Drawing and Analyzing Project Governance Social Networks

Article Preview

Abstract:

Dyadic interaction between a single project and an individual stakeholder has largely been the focus of research. But an increasing number of projects, in essence, are a multi-organization social network system. Study on the project governance social networks will be helpful to visualize and understand the project governance structure and governance strategy selection in specific condition. Therefore, we try to study methods to draw the social networks in project governance, discuss the configuration of the networks, and analyze the relationship between social network structures and stakeholders’ strategies.
