To:? Participants (and those who could not attend)
?????? the April 20 Wharton ET Conference Thanks for participating in the recent Strategic Partnerships conference at Wharton, and contributing to making it such a great success. We are enclosing with this email a presentation that we unfortunately had to cancel due to time constraints and we wanted to make sure you saw this because it involves some very interesting statistics involving EMAIL and informal organizational structure. Ruhul Quddus, an MBA student here at Wharton, with advice from several faculty and researchers (including us) has developed a procedure that allows firms to map their informal organization structure using email logs from the email server (note: the content of the emails is NOT required; just the data on who emails whom). Ruhul's initial results are very interesting and thought provoking in that they show that consideration of informal organization structure can potentially enhance the value of decision making in situations such as integrating acquisitions and coordinating alliances.? We hope you will look through the attached slides which outline some of his findings. Ruhul's contact information can be found on the slides.
