Advice for social capital management

By hannes @ 23:08 [ Academia ]
FAS.research (Sozialwissenschaftliche Forschungsgesellschaft mbH) has some answers to the following key question:

What is the best strategy for an agent to improve his/her position in a given network?

Strategy 1: Adaptive consolidation strategy (network closure strategy)
Strategy 2: Expansive jump strategy (structural holes strategy)
Strategy 3: Alternating strategy (alternating close and jump strategy)
Strategy 4: Random strategy (randomized sequences)
Strategy 5: Passive strategy (no active moves)

  1. It´s always better to have a strategy, than not, even if you act randomly!
  2. If you want to climb up faster than others, jump!
  3. Local heros remain local heros!
