Abstract

A balanced social structure within an organization is often considered as one of the major factors of company success. Thus the analysis of organizational networks is an important direction in network and organizational studies. In this paper we explore the mechanisms of collaboration using information about scientific paper coauthorships. We reveal the collaboration mechanisms within research departments of top Russian oil companies, Gazpromneft, Bashneft, Lukoil, and Tatneft. We examine the role of management in professional community formation.
