Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The objective of this course is to provide students with a thorough overview of social network analysis (SNA) methods and techniques. SNA concepts and real case studies will be illustrated with the aim of showing how such a methodological tool can be successfully applied in the fields of geography of innovation, regional development and policy evaluation. Real datasets based on primary and secondary data will be provided and the students will be stimulated to develop and tackle original research questions. At the end of the course, the students will be able to adopt several SNA measures and to use a software specifically created for conducting network studies such as Ucinet.
