K. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS AND INFORMATION ON MY

SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY AND RESEARCH PLANS

Summary of my Activities and Future Plans

My main expertise is social network analysis and network models of social

structure. My main analyses were to develop a social structural approach in online social

networks, and in economic and organizational sociology.

My key contributions have been to convert and translate theoretical insights,

mainly derived from the general theory of social capital and from network models of

economic sociology into other substantive areas. This integration, yielding value added

to network theory and to social network analysis, has recently gained scholarly

recognition.

More specifically, Talmud uses network models of social structure in the areas of

inter-organization research and economic sociology (e.g. Talmud, 2000; Gabbay, S., I.

Talmud and O. Raz, 2001; Darr, A. and I. Talmud ,2003), social stratification (Talmud,

2003; 2006), political sociology (Talmud and Mishal, 2000), international relations

(2004-7), and computer-mediated communication and online social networks (Mesch

and Talmud, 2003-2010).

The scholasic outcome is a social structural approach, providing an original and

more profound comprehension of central phenomenon which could not have been gained

without developing and applying a relevant social structural theory at the meso level of

analysis.

My aim is to further develop a social structural approach in the two areas:

economic sociology, mainly based on my current project on venture capital funds, and in

the continious study of the social organization of online social netwroks.

On Going Projects

a. The Economy as a Web of Affiliations

27

1. Relations and Investments: The Social Structure of Israeli Venture Capital

Industry:

Analyzing the Social Network between Venture Capital Funds in Israel: 1995-2004

(ISF Foundation Grant: 2004-2008), using , Co-evolutionary Approach.

In this project, just completed its data gathering and data management phases, I

assess the impact of network organization of Israeli venture capital funds on its

performance.

I also aim at investigating the co-evolution of network position and venture fund’s

performance and attribute in a dynamic stochastic analysis. This project also can

shed qualitative light onto mental models pf key players by investigating their

semantic networks regarding relational management of uncertainty.

2. The Social Structure of the Competition: Rent seeking Activity from Organization to Labor Markets a: A Network, Multilevel Approach .

This project analyses large scale data sets from various sources at the industry, firms,

and individual employees over time (1983; 1995). The main objectives are to assess

the impact of employers profit squeezing capacity on employers’ employment and

contractual relations, as well as their earnings in corporatist and neo-liberal eras.

b. The Internet and Social Networks

1. The Impact of Social Network and Internet Connectivity on Place Attachment and

Political Involvement: A Comparative and Longitudinal Analysis in Israel and in the

United States (BSF Grant: 2003-2006) (with Gustavo Mesch and Keith Hampton,

90000$). Project Site: http://soc.haifa.ac.il/community

2. Israeli Science Foundation Grant for three years. Subject: Social Aspects of

Information and Communication Technology in Israel, with Gustavo Mesch (25000$).

These projects examines the linkages between social position, network behavior, and

online and offline social capital.
