Comment on Social Network Analysis for North Central Kansas by DW

I think there are two real advantages in looking at the social networks around ED regions
(1) Uncovering Isolated Individuals, it is possible to use SNA to uncover actors that have very little communication with the greater community. The optimistic view would say that helps them deliver better services; the pessimistic view would say that it prevents them from acting without oversight. Either way a good thing
(2) The other possible advantage is in helping regions see and then breakdown artificial boundaries. As we found in the interview process business people have a much broader view of their region. When we map interactions on geography we see reenforcement of political boundaries that may not relate to how trade and growth actually occurs in the region.
