The module focuses on the structure and dynamics of a variety of networks (e.g., the World Wide Web, online social networks, collaboration networks, organisational networks, and many others). The module will first examine major network concepts and measures, with a focus on main topological properties of networks, including degree, clustering, centrality, and shortest distances. These properties will then be combined into models and theories that describe the structure of networks and the processes through which real-world phenomena such as innovation, information, and diseases spread through the network. The students will learn about applications of network models and theories to a variety of real-world problems, including team performance and creativity, finding new jobs, and the spread of health behaviour, cultural fads, viral ads, and (mis)information online. The module will combine current research on social networks with contributions from relevant organisational and sociological literature.
