The pattern of inter-organizational level of connectivity, formal versus informal ties

Inter-organizational network exists in many forms. Yet managing them has taken rather a monotonous approach. Using the social network analysis methodology, this study embarks on the objective in elucidating the structure of network depending on the different type of inter-organizational relations. T...
