Abstract
We explore new methods of mining and analyzing organizational information flows and individual information worker productivity. We extract and link corporate email data to accounting data on employee performance to test relationships between social network structures, information structures, and the performance and productivity of individual employees. Specifically, we investigate which network structures influence access to diverse and novel information, and whether these relationships explain performance in information intensive work.
