thanks for your thougthful inquiry.

I am forwrding your query to Socnet, the social network list serve, where 
many can give you examples.

You might also talk with Prof Arent Greve, at Bergen School of Business: 
he and his late wife Janet Salaff, have done many ethnographic analyses.

And, of course, the originators of network analysis were often 
ethnographic, such as Elizabeth Bott, J Clyde Mitchell, Charles Tilly, and 
John Barnes.
See either the intro chapter of Wellman & Berkowitz, Social Structures (on 
my website), Linton Freeman's book on the history of sna, and Charles 
Kadushin's new book on sna.
