An OD guru's bibliography of social network analysis

Posted on 14:46 by Unknown
As happy hour gathers steam this Friday afternoon, let's raise a pint to Jim Murphy, leader of the Massachusetts Bay OD Learning Group. And if you're looking for an especially good pint to raise, may I commend to you Jim's beer website.

Even though Patti Anklam and I thought we had the bases covered with our own SNA bibliography, Jim found a few gems worth adding. For two ends of the spectrum, see Verna Allee's article from OD Practitioner, and then look at Ulrike Gretzel's site, which is really something.

And so without further ado, here are links to and descriptions of interesting SNA sites, in the inimitable words of Jim Murphy:

Verna Allee, “Knowledge Networks and Communities of Practice”
