Centrality in social networks conceptual clarification

TL;DR: Variation in “golden parachute” contracts, a controversial corporate governance practice that emerged and spread widely during the hostile takeover wave of the 1980s, is studied to find evidence of mechanisms that both increase and decrease extensiveness and variation of golden parachutes.

TL;DR: In this article, a graph-theoretical framework for studying the interaction structure between subnetworks embedded within a complex network of networks is proposed, which can quantify the structural role of single vertices or whole sub-networks with respect to the interaction of a pair of sub-nets on local, mesoscopic and global topological scales.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that two principal topological aspects of hierarchical networks, node centrality and network modularity, correlate with the network activity patterns at different levels of spontaneous network activation.

TL;DR: The presented model for collaboration is based on theoretical foundations in the field of combinatorial auctions and operational research game theory and is applicable for coalitions of freight forwarders, especially for the collaboration of Profit Centres within large freight forwarding companies.

TL;DR: It is shown that the optimum location of a switching center is always at a vertex of the communication network while the best location for the police station is not necessarily at an intersection.
