Pearson, Mike

Social network analysis has roots as far back as the 1930’s under Moreno (1932, 1938) and developed rapidly during the 1970’s with the availability of fast computers and well developed graph theoretical concepts. Since then, to quote the INSNA (2013) website, “it has found important applications in organizational behaviour, inter-organizational relations, the spread of contagious diseases, mental health, social support, the diffusion of information and animal social organization.
