An Exploratory Study on the Measure of Organizational Interactive Network’s Heterogeneity

Abstract

Based on the organizational context, the organization personnel and the interactive relations generated from business process are abstracted to the organizational interactive network. On this basis, the concept of network structure entropy is proposed to quantitatively depict the heterogeneity of organizational interactive network. Taking a certain organization as an example, the change of heterogeneity of the organization with time is analyzed. The study in this paper is an exploratory study on the application of network science to organizational management.
