One of the best minds of all time in social sciences, Prof. Mark Granovetter, from Stanford University School of Humanities, will speak on Weak Ties, Social Networks and Political Turmoil. With more than 110,000 citations, his work on social network theory, economic sociology and on the spread of information in social networks has had a profound and broad-based impact on cutting-edge research in sociology, economics, business, computer science, and others. His theories are adopted in virtually all business disciplines: consumer demand, e-commerce, organization science, HRM, innovation network, and entrepreneurship. His work is also a source of inspiration for the business models of Facebook, LinkedIn and others in the digital economy. Among his many prestigious awards and honorary degrees, Granovetter was in Thomson Reuters’ list of predicted Nobel Prize winners in economics in 2014.
