Long Time

Social network analysis (SNA) is an attractive problem for a long time when social communities were popular since 2010. Scholars like to explore the meaning behind the numerous interactions generated at these social media sites. The primary and essential issue of SNA is to monitor, estimate, and engage the potential influencers who are most relevant and active to network. If we can analyze the social network this way, business enterprises could use minimal efforts to sustain the activity of influential users, improve sales, and enhance their reputations. In this chapter, a research framework based on multiple-criteria decision making (MCDM) is proposed. The authors will show how scholars could use dynamic self-organizing map (SOM) based on multiple-objective evolving algorithm (MOEA) and static weighted influence non-linear gauge system (WINGS) to analyze a social network. Finally, comparisons are made between the innovative approaches and the methods in tradition.

Sustainable Regional Development

In north-eastern Madagascar, maintenance of biodiversity competes with expansion of land for agriculture and mining. The concept of “telecoupling” provides a framework for analysis of distant actors and institutions that influence local land use decisions. However, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the extent of telecoupling of land governance in north-eastern Madagascar and a lack of evidence regarding its role in driving land use change and land competition. Using a descriptive Social Network Analysis, we disentangled distant interactions between actors in terms of flows and institutions. Our findings show that the domains of economic and environmental interactions are dominated by actors from different sectors that have claims on the same land but generally do not interact. Distant influences occurring via remote flows of goods, money, and institutions serve to reinforce local land competition. Balancing economic and environmental land claims for more sustainable regional development in north-eastern Madagascar requires collaboration between actors across sectors, scales, and domains.

Reliable Basis

To organize the experts rationally and facilitate the sharing of expert knowledge, an expert knowledge map framework based on social network analysis (SNA) for ship-block scheduling is proposed. The function of expert knowledge map is analyzed, and the approaches of SNA based knowledge map building are introduced. Then, the network structure was analyzed quantitatively to find the factors that hold back the spreading and innovating of knowledge by SNA. The result indicates that SNA can offer the reliable basis on how to take strong measures to organize the experts, which can improve the expert knowledge map’s structure and the effectiveness of knowledge navigation and sharing.

The aim of this article is to show that it is necessary to consider the negative, latent and lost ties, and those with the quality “zero” when studying the formation, change and reaffirmation of residential intentions and decisions. We use the case of Ukrainian immigrants residing in Spain, where we focus on the negative ties and the effects of relational strain among third parties, applying the approach of qualitative social network analysis. We pinpoint the compositional and structural characteristics of negative ties that are significant concerning decision-making process and constructing collecting data tools.

Tax Burden

<p>In this study, we examined how income shifting performs among affiliates in a business group to maximize the benefits of the entire business group in terms of minimizing the tax burden, with a particular focus on the direction of income shifting between affiliates within the business group. We find that tax-related decision-making for the entire business group is affected by the relationships between the affiliated firms, that is, the ownership structure of the whole business group. To analyze the ownership structure, we use centrality measures in a social network analysis. The results show that affiliates with the higher outdegree-centrality; that is, firms investing more shareholdings in other affiliates have a tendency to perform more income shifting. On the other hand, the affiliates with high indegree-centrality, that is, firms which are owned by other affiliates, were revealed to be given the income shifting from other affiliated firms to minimize the tax burden of the entire business group.</p>
