Visible Path Award

"The International Network for Social Network Analysis (INSNA) awarded its first annual Visible Path Graduate Student Award for new research on social networks and professional performance today.

The winner, Nathaniel Bulkley, a doctoral student working with Assistant Professor Marshall Van Alstyne at the University of Michigan School of Information, conducted surveys and studied six months of email data and accounting records from an executive recruiting firm ... An interesting finding was that characteristics of the recruiter's internal networks were statistically significant predictors of performance, but the size of their private rolodexes were not.

Bulkley's winning paper, "An Empirical Analysis of Strategies and Efficiencies in Social Networks" can be downloaded from his website ."
