7. The Gossip Mill
A Hungarian tile manufacturing company is plagued by false gossip and poor morale. Can the emerging science of networks come to the rescue?
2008, Hungary: a researcher stands on a factory floor quizzing a bemused employee. The tile manufacturing company is in trouble, and the researcher is there to help. But his questions seem silly: Who do you go to for advice? Who do you chat to?
What use is the science of networks to a company producing floor tiles?
Hannah Fry tells a tale about the precarious power of networks.
