The document discusses a study that examines the correlation between actor centrality in social networks and their ability to coordinate projects. It outlines the research framework, which involves extracting coordination-related phrases from emails, calculating coordination scores bounded by project scopes, constructing social network matrices using centrality measures, and testing the association between centrality and coordination. Preliminary results on the Enron email network from 1997-2002 are presented. The methodology involves text mining the Enron dataset to calculate coordination scores and social network centrality metrics like degree, closeness, and betweenness centrality.
