“…As a type of MCS, a GMCS is composed of a vast MK and can be described as a big and complex network consisting of many nodes and connections, therefore, it is feasible and appropriate to use the social network analysis method when studying GMCS (Sun, 2017). Furthermore, by introducing this new method, it is obvious that we can explore more aspects about GMCS, such as its density, centrality, and subgroups, etc., and obtain some accurate values of a GMCS to conduct a quantitative analysis, so as to solve the fuzzy problems mentioned above (Sun and Yang, 2017; Qu, 2018). Therefore, this study intends to apply the social network analysis method to analyze a GMCS, and the organizational characteristics of a GMCS.…”
