A Social Network Group (SNG) in the context of this paper is a group of people who come together to form a small scale business. The relationship between them is business. This paper provides a formal framework for SNGs and also models a rudimentary framework for collaborations among SNGs. The chief functionality of SNGs is to execute tasks, which forms the basic reason for collaborations. So, in the process of developing a framework for collaborations, we first formalize a task and then proceed to develop framework for collaborations. Collaboration is seen as a joint effort of multiple individuals or SNGs to accomplish a task or project. This is an extremely useful feature which helps in achieving goals which are otherwise not feasible for a single individual or SNG. This paper models a rudimentary framework for collaborations and also proposes a metric of collaboration.
