One-mode multiplex, directed network of managers of a high-tech company (Krackhardt 1987)

Description

21 managers of a company of just over 100 employees manufactured high-tech equipment on the west coast of the United States. Three types of ties were collected:

• friends: managers' answers to the question "Who is your friend?"

• advice: managers' answers to the question "To whom do you go to for advice?"

• reports: "To whom do you report?" based on company reports

The data is anonymised, but four nodal attributes are included:

• age: the manager's age in years

• tenure: the manager's length of service

• level: the manager's level in the corporate hierarchy, where 3 = CEO, 2 = Vice President, and 1 = manager

• dept: one of four departments, B, C, D, E, with the CEO alone in A
