Abstract

Social networks are constantly built in organizations who work in the studio or in coexistence with other individuals. Cooperation between different entities is generated through networks whose goal is to exchange information, improve performance and optimize resources. The game called Net-Box shows how networks are built from similarities and the cooperation emerges as a structure, allowing a common goal. The software UCINET, is constructed from data collected in playing sessions applied at the Nacional University of Colombia, Medellin. Finally, the results are presented and the conclusions on the structure of the networks are documented.
