    Core Research

    • Post-merger Integration: developing computational models and theories of organization behavior occuring during a "strategic combination", e.g. mergers, alliances, joint-ventures, etc.
    • Organizational Network Analysis: applying network analysis theory and methods to study and manage organizations.
    • Computational Organization Theory: applying mathematical modeling and computer simulation techniques to understand human behavior and performance in organizations.

    Supplemental Research

    • Statistical Methods for Social Network Analysis: Develop statistical techniques for network inference
    • Enron Email Corpus: Social network analysis of real-world sample applied to organization theory
    • Network Visualization: Techniques and software for visualizing large social networks
    • Web Services Software Development: Develop web-based API services for social network analysts
