Net Work
Net Work, by Patti Anklam - a review by Mick
"If you have never picked up a book on networks, and how they impact everything we (organizationally) do - then pick this one up.
Since Walter Powell differentiated between "Hierarchies, Markets and Networks", and we all discovered that we are within 6 degrees of each other, networks have fascinated. Yet the understanding of how they work has only gradually become clearer in recent years.
Patti Anklam has written a thorough yet very clear book, leading the reader step by step through the science and the implications of modern network theory. Anklam almost makes a sales person's "pitch" for why you should take networks seriously. They can help speed knowledge transfer, boost innovation, help nurture alliances and drive quality. Why wouldn't we all take networks seriously?"
