SOCIAL NETWORK ANALYSIS
While we support a variety of methods both quantitative and qualitative, one of our specialties is to provide social network analysis to organizations to investigate those phenomena that may be hidden from more traditional research means. Social network analysis can be used to examine internal dynamics as well as external phenomena in the domains of human resources, market research, organizational conflict, or ecological patterns to mention a few.
