This document discusses several key topics related to interpersonal networks:
- It outlines factors that influence network formation such as similarity, personality, proximity, and environmental changes.
- It describes important network concepts like degree centrality, betweenness centrality, and triadic closure.
- It discusses Milgram's six degrees of separation experiment and how networks vary in range and density.
- It examines how networks impact jobs, organizations, and performance through information sharing and relationship building.

Building networks for organizational learning presentationStephen Judd
In this session, leaders from the eXtension Network Literacy Community of Practice will help you understand networks; explain how network ties impact learning, collaboration and innovation; and share some strategies for building networks for learning in your organization. It is critical that those of us working in staff development in Extension understand the connections within our states and across our national organizations.
Like other organizations, Cooperative Extension is being profoundly affected by the network era. Providing access to research-based information from land-grant universities was once Extension's exclusive domain. Now, for many people, search engines have replaced calling the county Extension office or picking up the latest factsheet. As automation and algorithms perform more and more of the most straightforward tasks previously done by Extension staff, an increasing amount of Extension's value will be derived from the more complex work we perform.
As the most valuable Extension work becomes increasing complex, we need to adapt our approach to organizational learning. Complex work requires emergent practices, good or best practices. According to Harold Jarche, emergent practices are dependent on the cooperation of all workers and the free flow of knowledge. Knowledge sharing and innovation are dependent on the relationships and ties within an organization.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Thinking of getting a dog? Be aware that breeds like Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, and German Shepherds can be loyal and dangerous. Proper training and socialization are crucial to preventing aggressive behaviors. Ensure safety by understanding their needs and always supervising interactions. Stay safe, and enjoy your furry friends!

2. Antecedents and Consequences of Interpersonal Networks
Similarity
Similar People interact with each other. Bole toh...wavelength match hota hai. IIM Cluster, ISBian
Network etc.
Personality
Can be both: mainly antecedent. Determines your peer network, your behavior in teams (recall
Metabical)
Proximity and organizational structure
Organization structure determines your networks to some extent (Chinese wall) despite your similarity
and personality-wala points. A boss and an employee can be friends, but still the structure limits
friendships. Further, when friends get promoted, equations change. Like they say in 3 Idiots...Dost jab
fire ho jata hai...toh dukh hota hai..but jab dost promote ho jata hai...toh aur dukh hota hai!
Environmental Factors
M&A is an example. But people's networks are like rubber-bands. They first change, then revert back to
pre-merger pattern of networks. Then national culture is a factor. For eg. Japanese are group oriented
while Americans are individualistic. So Japanese companies might have more density and inter-
connectedness.
Triadic Closure
Strong Triadic Closure Property is that if a node has strong ties to two neighbors, then these neighbors
must have at least a weak tie between them. If A=B and A=C, then B=C at least in a weak way. Linkedin
works on this principle..first connection, second connection.
Tina is my Friend, Mina is Tina's Friend. mera aur Mina ka kuch toh connection hai...weak hi sahi!

3. Networks in Organization
that's ur manager Here's ur informal network

Communication
Manager's Network
Some Gyaan on Network Terminologies
In a network, there are nodes(people) and links (relationships).
Degree Centrality
Check the number of connections a node has directly. Basically, the Whore Node ko Dhoondo! But for
some level of safety & protection, she only networks with her clique
Between-ness Centrality
But Whore node has some connect with the outside world. through the DALAL node. The Dalal is a key
link between the two worlds now. If DALAL has a virus, the entire link has a virus.
4. A is the whore. O is the DALAL. A's key customers are B,C, D. O is the DALAL.
Strong Ties of A with BCDEFG- her roz ke customers. Weak ties with O the DALAL.
Milgram’s Six Degrees of Separation
Dooori..... Dooori..... sirf 6 step ka hai...
Linkedin works on this principle- that every human is away from the other only by 6 steps. Eeriely true
and works.
Paul Revere William Dawes
High Diversity Lowe Diversity
Low Redundancy High Redundancy
Brokerage- He was an information broker No Brokerage- He was NOT an information broker
More famous Less Famous
5. Network Range and Density
Network range= 10= no of rows
Network Density= actual ties/ total possible ties=21/40
Total possible ties generally is matrix size.
Proximity and Networks
Distance increases, network becomes weak. You connect more with people in your school, your office,
your section! A reason why many long distance relationships fail!
you'll send 50 mails to bosses and clients, but over 100 mails to your office friends as forwards.
Jobs and Network
56% found jobs through personal contacts.
More jobs (83% of 56% = 46% of total) obtained through “weak” ties.
WHY? Because weak ties are between cliques, strong ones are intra-clique. Toh, my weak tie would be
with IIM A fellows through one contact at IIM A. Probability of getting job through IIM is higher. (not
because of he being an IIM, but because its a diverse network)
6. Clique Network- Best Example- Overlapping connection, similar contacts- a bonding function
Think of Expansive Network like Air (now a bit of school chemistry)
Air molecules are loosely bound, but that helps air travel easily. Similarly, Expansive Netwrok provides
wavelength over distances
Network as Gear and Pipes
Pipes
A Detective.A Market Research or Equity Research Analyst. Uses network to
get information and performs work to achieve superior performance.
Gear
Getting work done through your network to achieve superior
performance. Grazie Sonia Ji!
7. Network da Limit
Ferrazzi's (Ferrari ka judwaa bhai) thumb rule for relationships
Develop a weak tie, phone call/mail once a month
Maintain a weak tie, contact 2-3 times a year
Develop a strong tie, 2 face to face meetings in a year
Dyslexia...Saare Zameen Par
Delegate: power from interdependence, not independence (free riders!)
Grease the gear to build trust-influence people with communication skills
Expansive Network rather than clique network.
Clique networks for Production and Expansive Network for Marketing, Distribution and even Innovation.
Finally develop a diversified portfolio of social contacts
8. P1: In Finance, I teach them to diversify their portfolio. Eggs in different basket you see!
P2: Oh I teach them the same. Only with respect to social contacts
S1: Oh Boss! Why don't u profs practice what you teach? Diversify the marks distribution across
students na for once!
EIS bole toh.. Executive Information System!
All data from Insead website.
What is the EIS Simulation ?
In the EIS Simulation, participants working in groups are challenged to introduce an innovation in a
division of a corporation. They have up to 6 months of (simulated) time to convince as many of the 22
members of the division's management team as possible to adopt an important innovation, which in this
case is an Executive Information System introduced corporate-wide to increase transparency and
reporting.
During the simulation, participants, operating as change agents, can choose among many different
initiatives and change management tactics to meet their goal. They may gather information on the
managers (the profiles, their relationships, etc.) or may take direct action to try to convince the
managers and thus influence their willingness to adopt the proposed innovation.
Each time participants implement a tactic, they immediately receive feedback about the impact of their
decisions. The objective is to get as many adopters as possible, overcoming different forms of individual
and organizational resistance to change.
WTF- Whats The Faayda
In today's complex business environment, organisations cannot avoid to innovate, and implementing
change has become one of the key tasks of managers. On the other hand - as everybody who has tried
to introduce innovations and change in organisations knows by experience - managing change processes
and making new things happen is often a difficult, lengthy and sometimes frustrating process.
The EIS Simulation aims at providing managers with a shared experience. An experience which brings
them in direct touch with a variety of factors impacting the dynamics of innovation and change in
organizational contexts.
