Abstract
Authors compare different ways of selecting change agents within network analysis paradigm and propose a new algorithm of doing so. All methods are evaluated against network coverage measure that calculates how many network members can be directly reached by selected nodes. Results from the analysis of organizational network show that compared to other methods the proposed algorithm provides better network coverage, at the same time selecting change agents that are well connected, influential opinion leaders.
