<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US">The German Graduate School of Management and Law (GGS) organizes a series of seminars for doctoral students and post-docs with an interest in research methodology. This course on Social Network Analysis
is designed to provide statistical instruments for the analysis of network structures. The workshop will show participants how to combine network data and analytical techniques to answer social science research questions. Furthermore, the students will become
acquainted with computer programs that are widely used in practice. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
