Abstract

Advances in technology and its usage have resulted in vast quantities of information being available on the public domains accessible via the internet. Particularly, research on populations not easily accessible, for collection of data through conventional techniques such as surveys and interviews, benefits greatly from such public information. In this study, we explore one method of using information that has already been collated, to construct a network of the professional resources of a population not easily accessible - corporate director.
