SNA address real problem in the company

problem and challenge 

This is an issue that occurs in the real company. Because of the fierce battle in work performance, the relationship among employees as well as departments in the company becomes increasingly strained. However, this kind of situation 

is a bad phenomenon for the development of the company, while this kind of issue can't be solved in a short time. There are many kinds of solutions, 

for example, the company can directly issue a statement that the relationship 

among departments in the company should be friendly. But this solution can't 

fundamentally solve the interpersonal relationship among the departments 

faced by the company. However, if we separate different departments of the 

company, find out the employee in the department who has the close relation with the other employees under different department, as well as find out the 

employee in various departments who has the most frequent social interaction with others, according to the knowledge that welearn in SNA courses, the company can 

solve the problem firstly from the team group.

What will be the most important network measures? And what will the SNA help me do?

The most important network measures will be how to do subgroup with big date.

When I can find out who is the leader and who has the most connection with the people in the subgroup. I will fix the problem individually, and guide the leader to do social network with people who from the different department.

SNA will help me to know the closeness and betweenness in each of department and also will help me to find out who is the person should I have a conversation first and then fix friendship problems in the different apartment.
