The seven papers are outstanding original works presented at the 2015 WATEF International conference held in Daegu, South Korea. The theme of the conference was “Social Network, Big Data, and Future Strategy” withvarious scopes such as ‘big dataandchanges of human life’,

‘specificindustryandbigdata’ and so on, which aimedtounderstand how socialnetwork approachcould enhance our understandingof diverse phenomena.It is true during the past two decades, the emphasis on andthe applicability of social networkapproaches has been increased theoretically as well as practically. In addition, the possibility of the combination betweensocial network methodology andbig data becomes reality. However, few studies offer empirical linkage between social networkapproaches andbigdata. Thusthisspecial issue of JCEA can helpus take the initial steps toward addressing how social networkapproaches can be joined with different types ofdataandwhythe combination isvaluable to understand our future. In this regard, each of seven articles reviewed here begins toplotapath forward.

The piece by Rich provides triesto extend our understandingof losers’ consent through multilevel conception of electoral success, based on an analysis ofTaiwan’s first election under a mixed system. Under three separatemeasures ofperceptions, which are satisfaction with

However, withthe exception of one model, identifying as awinner at thenational and district level both show a statistically meaning positiveboostsin views. Overall, thestudy confirms thatthe concept oflosers’ consent can be appliedtomixed systems.

characteristics of sub-organizationswithpublicinstitutesin order toobtaintheir implications for organizational structure. The authorsexamine how sub-unitsare organized based on their structural features and compare them between threepublic research institutes indifferent countries suchas Korea, Germany andtheUnited States. The authors found little common groundintheresearchareas between the Government-funded Research Institutes in Korea, which might hinder the collaboration among them. This study shows how structural properties can help us to understandthe possibility ofcollaborationamong institutions with a network.
