Welcome to MGT 780 (2022)

This is the website for the Spring 2022 edition of MGT 780: Social Network Analysis, a Ph.D. level course taught each Spring by Steve Borgatti at the University of Kentucky. The course is offered under the auspices of the LINKS Center at the Gatton College of Business and Economics, as well as the Dept. of Management. 

Here is the syllabus and the schedule for semester. Drop-ins are welcome. The 2022 class meets Tuesdays 10-12:30 Eastern time in B&E 330 and will also be zoomed. See zoom info page for details.

The course is heavily software-dependent, so bring your laptop to class. See the software page for details.

The focus of this course is doing social network research. As such, the focus is on the theoretical concepts and methodology of social network analysis. We do not focus on the empirical findings of the field to date. For that, I recommend MGT 795 Social Networks and Organizations taught by Dan Brass, usually in the Fall.

The short name for this website is mgt780.net
