In line with the multi-disciplinary nature of network research, this edited volume collects both empirical and conceptual contributions that nurture the debate on network research, specifically dealing with the topics of network performance and agency. The contributions draw on different literatures and epistemic approaches and address different levels of analysis, both from a static and a dynamic point of view. It will be of great interest to academics and students developing research in the field of network studies. It will also be of interest to scholars of operations management, organization studies, strategy, innovation, financial management and business history. Anna Moretti is an Associate Professor in the Department of Management at Ca 'Foscari University of Venice, Italy. Lisa Balzarin is a Research Fellow in the Department of Management at Ca 'Foscari University of Venice, Italy.

This book contains a selection of the latest research in the field of computational social science (CSS) methods, uses, and results, as presented at the 2022 annual conference of the Computational Social Science Society of the Americas (CSSSA). Computational social science (CSS) is the science that investigates social and behavioral dynamics through social simulation, social network analysis, and social media analysis. The CSSSA is a professional society that aims to advance the field of computational social science in all areas, including basic and applied orientations, by holding conferences and workshops, promoting standards of scientific excellence in research and teaching, and publishing research findings and results.

Kaum ein Politikfeld ist so heterogen zusammengesetzt, normativ aufgeladen und von symbolischen Handlungen geprägt wie die Kulturpolitik. Über die Funktionsweise dieses Feldes liegen bislang nur vereinzelte politikwissenschaftliche Studien vor. Michael Flohr wählt das selbsternannte »Kulturland Thüringen« als Fallbeispiel, um Handlungsfelder, Praktiken, Governance-Formen und Netzwerke in der Kulturpolitik zu untersuchen. Die Analyse stützt sich auf eine umfangreiche qualitative und quantitative Datenbasis und belegt: Kulturpolitik befindet sich in einer systemimmanenten Sinn- und Strukturkrise. »Ich kann allen Interessierten an Themen der Kulturpolitik und an der Entwicklung der ostdeutschen Länder, hier insbesondere Thüringens, die Lektüre dieses ausgezeichneten, klugen, tiefgründigen und sehr lesenswerten Buches nur empfehlen.« Thomas Schmidt, www.socialnet.de, 21.10.2019 »Die zentralen Erkenntnisse dieser Forschungsarbeit belegen den wissenschaftlichen Mehrwert seiner Methodik und die Wichtigkeit von kulturpolitischer Forschung aus der Perspektive und mit dem Instrumentarium der Politikwissenschaft. Der Autor bietet einen umfassenden Einblick in die Strukturen und Netzwerke, aber besonders auch in die Beziehungen und Verstrickungen thüringischer Kulturpolitik.« Kilian H. Lembke, Portal für Politikwissenschaft, 19.08.2019 »Flohrs Werk lässt sich als ostdeutsche Fortschreibung des 2012 erschienenen ›Kulturinfarkts‹ lesen, einer 2012 kontrovers diskutierten Streitschrift westdeutscher Kulturmanager und Kulturmanagementforscher. Michael Flohr hat eine wertvolle Studie vorgelegt. Eine breite öffentliche Wahrnehmung erfährt seine Arbeit zurecht.« Harald Schiller, www.kulturmanagement.net, 08.08.2019 »Der Politikwissenschaftler provoziert pointiert [...],formuliert eigene Positionen, belegt und begründet sie mit nachvollziehbaren Argumenten und Erkenntnissen.« Michael Plote, Freies Wort, 30. 04.2019 »Der Politikwissenschaftler provoziert pointiert mit seiner Doktorarbeit, formuliert eigene Positionen, belegt und begründet sie mit nachvollziehbaren Argumenten und Erkenntnissen.« Michael Plote, Thüringer Museumshefte, 2 (2018) »Analytische Arbeiten sind rar. Vor diesem Hintergrund Dissertation von Michael Flohr über Thüringen interessieren; sie ist in diesem Umfang und Methodenmix bislang singulär - in der fachlichen Qualität wie in der guten Lesbarkeit.« Tobias J. Knoblich, Kulturpolitische Mitteilungen, 4 (2018) O-Ton: »Ein mühsamer Lobbyprozess« - Michael Flohr im Interview bei hEFt im Oktober 2018. »Die Lektüre dieses praxisnahen Buches lohnt sowohl für Wissenschaftler und Studierende als auch für Praktiker, ehrenamtlich Engagierte und Kultur- und Kunstinteressierte.« https://aktuell.uni-erfurt.de, 14.06.2018 Besprochen in: Thüringer Landeszeitung, 08.11.2018, Michael Helbing Thüringer Allgemeine, 08.11.2018, Michael Helbing Thüringer Allgemeine, 20.12.2018, Michael Helbing

Foresight, futures studies, but also technology assessment and trend research are characterized by a research perspective directed towards the future. These results in fundamental peculiarities have to be taken into account in the conception of studies and in practical research work. The contributions to this anthology offer guidance for scientists and practitioners and describe the criteria and standards by which the quality of results and processes in futures studies can be assessed.
