Krackhardt's High-tech Managers Friendship network

Description

David Krackhardt collected cognitive social structure data from 21 management personnel in a high-tech, machine manufacturing firm to assess the effects of a recent management intervention program. The relation queried was 'Who does X go to for advice and help with work?' (krackad). Each person indicated not only his or her own advice and friendship relationships, but also the relations he or she perceived among all other managers, generating a full 21 × 21 matrix of adjacency ratings from each person in the group. The self-reports are stored in 'krackadself' and the full cognative report are stored in 'krackad' as a 'network.series'. The manager attributes of Department, Level, Age, and Tenure ae included.

Complete descriptions of these data, including references for the original sources of the data, can be found in Chapter 2 (pages 59- 66) and Appendix B (pages 738-755) of Wasserman and Faust.

The original data in ASCII, UCINET and KrackPlot formats are available at INSNA.
