abstract = "This study uses a simulation as a vehicle for social networks research application. Eighty five companies were created as part of a simulated healthcare industry. Our results suggest that companies positioning themselves at pivotal points within the network outperform companies that do not. The findings show the applicability of network theory and the use of simulations in applied research on healthcare decision-making.",
