I'm sure this question has been studied in a thesis or ten in the field of computational sociology (which I didn't know existed until I googled the term). I think there are a number of ways to state this problem in terms of graphs and their transformations, that's usually the case when it comes to abstractions. I think the question more worth answering is the methods by which real world organizational and business problems/processes can be expressed as graphs and their transformations, and how to perform analysis of those graphs for given queries about their nature. I know a few people who do this but not as a rigorous CS discipline, it's often called Industrial Organizational Psychology, Process Optimization, etc etc. Its a complex interdisciplinary field.
