SOCIAL NETWORK

ACCORDING MARK GRANOVETTER, A social network is a social structure which, in general, facilitates communication between a group of individuals or organizations, that are related by one or more specific types of interdependency, such as: a special or common interest; shared values; visions, ideas, or perhaps ideals; financial exchange, friendship, , dislike, conflict or trade.



ACCORDING TO ME SOCIAL NETWORK:

NETWORK:INTERCONNECTION OF TWO NODES IS CALLED NETWORK

SOCIAL:RELATION SHIP STATUS BETWEEN ONE PERSON TO OTHER IN AN ORGANIZATION IS CALLED SOCIAL

SOCIAL NETWORK MEANS CONNECTION FROM ONE PERSON TO ANOTHER PERSON IN AN ORGANIZATION OR CONNECTION OF ONE PERSON TO ANOTHER PERSON IN AN WORLD IS CALLED SOCIAL NETWORK.
