Like Hong Kong, Singapore is a country with scarce natural resources that many companies are fighting for. As the Government holds the key to many resources such as land and many sensitive information, the success of a business can be greatly affected depending on whether it gains access to these information.

<!--Body-->
Hence, this project aims to tackle the issue by analyzing board-of-directors (BOD) information through networks analytics to investigate the possible existence and extent of conflicts of interests between public and private bodies in Singapore. Using the same information, our team will also attempt to determine the relationships between each sector by analyzing the pattern of interlocking directorates among the various sectors in Singapore.

<!--End Body-->
Aside from its business friendly environment, Singapore’s sound and transparent government has also been an an important factor in attracting investments. Ever since the AIM scandal in 2012, there has been increased interest in the way the Singaporean Government is running the country. Hence, this project will provide a base for further research and debate. In addition, this project will assist future investors in making better business decisions such as finding sponsors in sectors who are more sympathetic to their business.
 
 
 
Project Objective
 
 
 
In each firm, there may be a board of directors which contains both insiders, who are direct employee under the firm, and outsiders – people who are not employees of the firm but hold an important position in the board of directors. As the existence of interlocking directorates between public and private entities in the same sector increases the possibility of conflicts of interest, our team will produce a visualization of these relationships between public and private companies. Key features of our project will include:
 
 
 
1. Identifying possible areas where conflicts of interests might arise
 
2. Understanding influencers within sectors
 
3. Identify the interdependence amongst various sectors
