Abstract

Through the study case of a restructuring process of a company, we illustrate how to detect informal networks in a company. A survey was conducted by questionnaires. We made use of eigencentrality applied to the resulting graphs. Based on the concept of hubs and authorities, we compare the informal relationships within the company with the formal structure and comment the roles and their significance
