In this study, a financial network of stocks traded in Bursa Malaysia was constructed using a minimum spanning
tree (MST) method. The network constructed focuses on the companies that are listed in the shariah-compliant measures
degree, betweenness and closeness centrality were used to determine the most influential stock. The financial network helps
market participants by providing an overview of correlations of stocks and identifying the stocks that have major roles in
the market as well as presents as a platform for the design of investment tactics.

Network analysis of shariah-compliant stocks on Bursa Malaysia by using minimum spanning tree (MST)

The construction of large and medium-sized hydropower projects involves multiple stakeholders. The way various parties interact affects the construction and management of a project. As the construction of hydropower projects has progressed, the governance of the coordination relationship among stakeholders has become a more pressing and troublesome issue in project management research. We propose an Entropy-TOPSIS measurement method for hydropower project coordination stakeholders, and we use it to assess the degree of coordination among various stakeholders in the Sichuan JL. The results show that the owner, the supervision unit, and the subcontractor have good overall coordination, with a coordinated development degree of over 0.519. With an average coordinated development degree of over 0.361, the design unit and the supplier are next. The overall coordination of the general contractor is the worst, with a coordinated development degree of only 0.201. As a result, in this case, it is necessary to improve the general contractor's project management capabilities so that they can manage other stakeholders in a targeted and coordinated manner.

Evaluation of hydropower project implementing coordination degree on the perspective of stakeholders

Evaluation of coordination performance in a project network requires reliable measures and monitoring methods for effective management. Recent literature includes studies addressing the relationship between coordinative activity and the configuration of communication networks. In these works, the role of network centrality is investigated through the basic standard centrality measures of degree, betweenness and closeness. Current social network analysis research emphasizes new formulations of centrality measures for robust structural analysis of project networks. This paper presents a novel approach for measuring network centrality using the concept of information centrality. It is based on the idea that all paths carry information. The significance of information centrality values for the actors in a wayfinding signage project at Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport is investigated. A centrality index is defined for each firm based on the average of the four measures of centrality. Findings suggest the existence of a high correlation between coordination scores and the centrality indices. A centrality index augmented by information centrality measure has potentials for assessing the coordination performance in construction management research, and it is promising for the structural analysis of project communication networks.
