Kurs informasjon: i2 Analyst's Notebook - Social Network Analysis

What is SNA? SNA is a method that emerged from Social Sciences. It can be used to examine group structures and communication flows within a network chart by focusing on the relationships that exist between entities. i2 has implemented SNA capabilities within i2 Analyst's Notebook that can help people to better understand the dynamics of groups and organisations.

Why use SNA? SNA can help you to overcome a series of real word problems:

• Ever-growing Datasets - SNA can help to filter network information more efficiently.
• A need to better understand target networks - SNA can help you to quickly identify potential key individuals/groups for better prioritisation of often limited resources.
• Having to look beyond the network structure into its dynamics - SNA can identify characteristics of networks that are not immediately apparent.
• Not all connections are equal - SNA can weight relationships between entities.

The aim of this course is to gain a deeper understanding of the use of the SNA function in i2 Analyst's Notebook. Learn to use techniques in i2 Analyst's Notebook and i2 iBase to maximise the effective use of SNA within your organisation.
