Using organisational network analysis the author examines influence of social capital of change leaders in the area of real work flow during change implementation and open communication flow on change effectiveness. One finds that ties among change leaders in those two dimensions have distinct change effectiveness effects. In broaden aspect, findings have major implications on change management research and imply further research in this matter to be conducted by the author.
