Interaction - Interaction Rank model
The Interaction Rank diagram on the "Interaction – Network" page shows the combination of all three attributes in the Value Network chart in a bar chart.
Purpose
The Value Network Model chart contains a lot of details. This makes it slightly harder to interpret. The simpler Interaction Rank model condenses the three elements of interactions (frequency, value and type) into one dimension (level of attraction). The interaction with the longest bar is most important to be near each other.
The Axes of the chart
Horizontal (value) axis: shows the level of attraction between two corporate entities.
Vertical (categorical) axis: shows the two constituents, concatenated together with "<->" between them.
Categories
Each bar shows two organizational entities that were joined together because respondents indicated connections between the two in the Reworc Digital Interview.
Values
The vna-rank-index is a descriptive statistic that combines the 3 different data points of an interaction (the frequency, type, importance) into a single number so they can be ranked.
The value in each bar is calculated as follows: Frequency * (Summary Type / Frequency) x (SumRank / Frequency)
More interactions scores higher. More physical interactions score higher, More virtual interactions scores lower. More important interactions scores higher.
You could see it as common baseball statistic, like OBP or OPS..
