Episode 130a: Organizations and Correlated networks

Summary:

We explore the model of organizations introduced in the previous episode. By adding informal links to a substrate hierarchy, we find a basic typology which includes core-periphery networks, team-based networks, random networks, and and multiscale networks. Under high pressure message passing, a simulation of problem solving with great uncertainty, core-periphery and multi-scale networks fare well, but the only multiscale networks show resilience to catastrophic failure. We move on to a reprise of assortativity and contagion calculations, introducing a physically-motivated approach, far more transparent then generating function methods, and in some ways more powerful.
