This chapter explores the application of Social Network Analysis (SNA) to corporate networks from a historical perspective. It explains how to convert archival data into network-ready formats and demonstrates the methodology through case studies spanning national corporate networks (Argentina, Chile, Italy 1900–2017), local business networks in nineteenth-century Southern Italy, and J.P. Morgan & Co.’s early twentieth-century connections. The examples show how SNA can reveal hidden patterns in traditional business sources and enable more systematic historical research, including the identification of absent ties.

摘要

This chapter explores the application of Social Network Analysis (SNA) to corporate networks from a historical perspective. It explains how to convert archival data into network-ready formats and demonstrates the methodology through case studies spanning national corporate networks (Argentina, Chile, Italy 1900–2017), local business networks in nineteenth-century Southern Italy, and J.P. Morgan & Co.’s early twentieth-century connections. The examples show how SNA can reveal hidden patterns in traditional business sources and enable more systematic historical research, including the identification of absent ties.
