In the paper the measures of the social network analysis were discussed in terms of their relevance to describe an interlocking directorates’ strategy with the suggestion of closeness and eigenvalue as best suited. The statistical analyses were presented. The analysis of the aforementioned measures’ statistical properties and their links with board size and degree revealed that it is hard to optimize them simultaneously by simply increasing a value of degree. As closeness is rather linearly linked to degree, insomuch as increasing eigenvalue, as latter requires the analysis of the network structure in order to optimize benefits to costs ratio.
