Methods for graphically representing interactions among entities within an
organization are provided. These methods, in their basic form, include
providing graphical objects corresponding to the entities, varying
graphical properties of the graphical objects to correspond to
preselected attributes of the entities, and displaying on a display
screen the graphical objects and interactions between the entities
represented by the graphical objects. The specific graphical methods
described and claimed include interactions between units within an
organization, interactions between members within a unit of an
organization, interactions between a member and other members within an
organization, interactions between hypothetical units within an
organization, and interactions between members of units within an
organization. As used herein, "organization" denotes any grouping of
individuals or units of individuals, including communities and companies.
