Intensity of bilateral contacts in Social Network Analysis

The approach presented here introduces the use of directed and weighted graph indicators in order to incorporate the intensity of bilateral contacts. The indicators are tested on a reference email network, and their applicability in explaining the role of each individual in the organization is explored. The results suggest that directional indicators have high explicatory relevance and can add value to conventional Social Network Analysis (SNA) approaches.
