| Summary |
The authors have gathered 28 essays from a broad group of experts to delve into the concept of networks. This book considers all facets of the "network challenge," from supply chains to social networks, leadership to strategy, risk management to HR, terrorism to infectious disease. The books aims to teach the reader to: (1) harness the network to create value and identify opportunities; (2) learn about the impact of network dynamics on strategy, innovation, marketing, operations, finance, HR, and other business areas; (3) identify and mitigate risks from contagion and interdependencies; (4) understand network dynamics and evolution from the perspective of natural sciences, artificial intelligence, and other fields. |
