On Cohesion

A blog to investigate and discuss the representation of cohesion in small combat units in computer models and simulations. The research covers the stress effect of soldiers in comabt and the mitigating effect of unit cohesion on their ability to function. Also it is an investigation of what entities would like to fund future research in this topic area.

I found an interesting word that might be a good concept to study cohesion. Especially when modeling cohesion of a Chinese combat units. The word is "Guainxi"

Guanxi is a Chinese term, generally translated as "networks" or "connections," that is increasing discussed in Western business circles and among academics studying such aspects of community as affective networks and social capital. Although guanxi is often characterized as uniquely Chinese, similar relationships occur in other nations, especially in East Asia.

here is a link to an explanation of the word
