Strategic Network Management in a Community Collaborative: A Simulation
BY Danielle Varda
University of Colorado- Denver
Summary
In this simulation, the network
theory and Social Network Analysis (SNA) are
applied to
examine the organizational networks in
public health partnerships. SNA and network
theory is applied to operationalize a set of
measurable dimensions that can be used to
evaluate the strength of PHCs and the
connections (or connectivity) among partner
organizations. Connectivity is defined
as the measured interactions between
partners in a collaborative such as the
amount and quality of interactions, and how
these relationships might change over time.
The simulation has a brief overview of SNA
to allow students to become familiar with
the concept and language. However, the
readings from the “recommended reading” list
below can help students get familiar and
prepare to participate in this simulation.
