Net Work: A Practical Guide to Creating and Sustaining Networks at Work and in the World

In Net Work, Patti Anklam takes on the jumble, hype, and academic jargon about networks - social, personal, and organizational - and creates a straightforward and comprehensive introduction for the lay practitioner. Beginning with a framework of network types, structures, and styles, Net Work is a guide to methods for analyzing, making sense of, governing, and managing change in networks. If you are a manager trying to understand how to work across network boundaries, an entrepreneur thinking about creating a networked business, or a citizen of the world who wants to use a network to make a difference, you will find that Net Work will give you the language, insights, and directions to get you started on the path to making networks work.
