Abstract
Effective change management in the twenty-first century within the schooling sector relies on many factors including professional learning and the development of relationships in complex cultures. From a research viewpoint, understanding such complex cultures requires considered methodological choices to explore the richness of multiple realities in qualitative study. Social network analysis provides a tool to navigate complex data sets and link them to develop a greater understanding of the interactions and flow of knowledge within an organisation. This chapter applies social network analysis in a qualitative case study to explore the roles and influences of individuals and their behaviour in a multifarious environment responding to change.
