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 is a friend of X?'. 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 'krackfrself' and the full cognative report are stored in 'krackfr' 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.
