Imec, a leading nano-electronics research institute, has adopted a novel approach to analyzing its high-tech manufacturing supply chain by employing social network theory through the Elastic Stack framework. This method involves modeling the business network as a social network graph, where nodes represent customers, suppliers, and projects, with connections symbolizing financial transactions. The analysis revealed a denser network structure over time, driven by an increase in suppliers offering more complex services and the emergence of "super-customers" who frequently engage in multiple projects. By generating numerous business partner network graphs spanning from 2004 to the present and analyzing them in MATLAB, Imec has been able to track and understand significant changes in its business model, illustrating the effectiveness of using social network theory to study business network evolution.
