What is network

analysis

Four simple concepts

• Nodes - entities on the graph

• Edges - relationships between nodes

• Degrees - how do we measure the amount of

connectivity?

• Reach - how do we measure the effect of the

network

• Lets assume that there will be

more ideas than capacity

• Who decides what is

important?

• What is the difference between a marginal voice and

a personal issue?
