Social Network Analysis: Organizational Communication

By -On




The video titled "Social Network Analysis: Organizational Communication" delves into the application of Social Network Analysis (SNA) to understand and enhance communication within organizations. It delves deeper into the fact that organizations are not just hierarchical structures but are also composed  of networks of informal relationships and interactions.​

This allows organizations to map out these informal networks to identify key individuals who act as central connectors or potential bottlenecks in communication flows. This mapping helps in pinpointing areas where communication may be lacking or where certain employees are isolated from the main information channels.​

The video also highlights how understanding these networks can lead to improved organizational productivity and effectiveness. For instance, recognizing and empowering central connectors can facilitate better information dissemination while addressing bottlenecks can prevent communication breakdowns. Additionally, fostering connections with isolated employees can enhance overall team cohesion and morale.​

In essence, the video discusses the importance of looking beyond formal organizational charts to the underlying social networks that drive day-to-day operations. By leveraging SNA, organizations can gain valuable insights into their communication dynamics, leading to more informed strategies for enhancing collaboration and performance.​

  The adoption of digital media among seniors has been increasing. For instance, in Finland, the use of digital media among people over 70 has been steadily increasing. In 2020, about 51% of Finns aged 75 to 89 used the internet. Among this age group, 19% engaged with social network services, and 30% used the internet several times a day. A growing trend of digital engagement among the elderly, although there is still room for improvement in bridging the digital divide. Many older people struggle with digital literacy or do not have access to the technology, which can leave them feeling isolated. When they cannot use the internet or social media, it can create a sense of being left out of the larger community. It is something I have read about in studies, where seniors experience social exclusion if they are cut off from digital tools. On the other side, those who are digitally connected tend to have better health and well-being. When seniors are able to access health information a...
