Market Analysis on Social Network Analysis Books

Together with my co-author Dr. Marina Hennig from the Humboldt-University of Berlin, I conducted a market analysis of the main social network analysis books. We included English and German books. The results are written up in two working papers, published in German and English, in our Working Paper Series.

Here is a short abstract:

We conducted a market analysis of existing books on social network analysis as a basis for a grant proposal submitted to the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft - DFG) in November 2006. The results of this analysis are included in this working paper format and open for discussion. We are eager to learn about alternative interpretation(s) or analysis dimensions and will be (are) happy to update this paper as soon as we receive valid comments or requests for changes.

We appreciate any kinds of comments, additions, opinions on our analysis. We appreciate any kinds of comments, additions, opinions on our analysis. Please contact Ines Mergel if you would like to use our Endnote file.

Re the report: "Market Analysis of „Social Network Analysis“ Books"
On pages 5-6-7 you have the equivalent of three two-mode networks (books x attributes). Why have you not done any network analysis of this data? Or have I missed something, in my very quick scan of the report?

I agree with Rick -- I was surprised that there was no network analysis of the books.

So, I did a quick one last night -- using the 11 English titles you mention in the article.
