Abstract
Actors in networks usually do not act alone. By a selective process of establishing relationships with other actors, they form groups. The groups are typically founded by common goals, interests, preferences or other similarities. Standard examples include personal acquaintance relations, collaborative relations in several social domains, and coalitions or contractual relationships in markets. The cohesion inside these groups enables them to influence the functionality of the whole network.
