Abstract

We present the theoretical and methodological basis of a model that offers the managers information about their own social networks. We analyzed the nursing directors social networks of hospitals belonging to the Network of Hospitals for Public Use (XHUP ) of Catalonia, Spain, and studied the information retrieved from these networks. The proposed model is applied to make a comparative analysis of managers surveyed, in order to improve strategies and to enhance outcomes of competitive intelligence projects.
