It's a Small World: Efficiency in a SME network across Design and Technology
分析跨两个行业的中小企业网络的连通性和效率，发现该网络呈现小世界特征，核心群体中非营利和科学参与者占比过高。
This paper analyzes connectivity and efficiency of a SME network across two industries. These characteristics are likely to be different for networks of various industries. The concept of 'small worlds' is used to judge overall network efficiency. The actual network can be classified as one in which a small world is present. Visualization of the results shows a single core group in the network. It was found that non-profit as well as science actors were overrepresented in the core of the field.
