Cognitive social structures

Type: article
Abstract: There are problems within the area of network analysis that can be fruitfully explored with cognitive social structures (CSS). Such structures can be modeled as three-dimensional (N × N × N) network structures. A definition of such structures is presented, along with a review of some of the problems CSS might address. Three types of aggregations of CSS - Slices, Locally Aggregated Structures (LAS), and Consensus Structures (CS) - are proposed to reduce CSS to a tractable two dimensions for analysis. As an illustration, the CSS of a management team of a small manufacturing firm is analyzed comparing all three types of aggregations.
