“…This approach highlighted a number of issues which provides the motivation for the development of Matrixify. Moreover, the questions posited by the historian by using the Matrixify approach were not identifiable when using static social network analysis tools in previous work (Haggerty and Haggerty, 2010;Haggerty and Haggerty, forthcoming).…”

Social network analysis has received much attention across disciplines. Recently, historians have begun to complicate their understanding of networks and are increasingly using visualisation to elucidate tangible and intangible information in their data sets. Current approaches make use of static social network analysis and whilst they provide a number of tools to explore a social network, they are unable to provide temporal analysis. This paper presents Matrixify, a practical visual application for the exploratory temporal analysis of social networks for historians and others not familiar with visual representations of data. This approach aims to deconstruct the complexity of social networks to provide a temporal analysis to answer a key problem in historical studies, that of 'analysis of change over time'. In this way, historians are able to identify real relationships in their data sets; actors in contact at a particular point in time and shown over time. The case study presented in this paper demonstrates the applicability of the approach in interdisciplinary studies.

“…Annakin‐Smith explores the links of the Dee estuary ports of Neston and Parkgate to the slave trade, finding that despite their close proximity to Liverpool those links were, in fact, relatively few. Meanwhile Haggerty and Haggerty's analysis of Liverpool networks during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries continues. In this latest contribution they consider the life cycle of networks and how networks sustained and transformed social and economic activity over their period.…”

“…As entrepreneurial companies continue to grow, the differences in the guanxi members' level of learning, growth and adaptability will also lead to differences in the companies' life cycle, C lifecycle , (Haggerty and Haggerty 2011;. The reliance on guanxi will therefore fade (McNally 2011) and some guanxi members will leave or be eliminated from the entrepreneurial companies' core guanxi network (Cantner and Graf 2006;Haggerty and Haggerty 2011), which is indicated by the exit factor, R exit .…”

“…As for what kind of guanxi structure is most effective, answers include compact structure (Alcott and Christopoulos 2011), loose structure (Walker et al 1997) or comprehensive structure (Liao and Welsch 2003). And finally, the right answers to the question of how many guanxi are actually effective for the development of entrepreneurial companies probably include both limited scale (Parker 2008) and limitless scale (Haggerty and Haggerty 2011). It is therefore obvious that the role of guanxi in influencing development is complicated.…”

The changing role of guanxi in influencing the development of entrepreneurial companies: a case study of the emergence of pharmaceutical companies in China

"Guanxi" is a term in Chinese referring to the reciprocal nature of interpersonal relationships. Its attributes, which are specific to Chinese culture, have been the focus of recent literature. Whereas the impact of guanxi seems to be quite similar to that of general relationships, ties or connections, it is characterized by a number of different dimensions. In this paper, we studied 44 entrepreneurial companies in the pharmaceutical industry in China to examine these attributes in greater detail. We use a system dynamics model to simulate the influence of various guanxi variables -the strength, scale and structure of guanxi -on the development of entrepreneurial companies.
