Résumé

"Managers are finally beginning to grasp the importance of social networks. But until they read this excellent book, managers won't know how to understand and analyze networks, or how to translate the analysis into better organizational performance."
Thomas H. Davenport, President's Distinguished Professor, Babson College, and Accenture Fellow

"Social network analysis is becoming an important tool as organizations become fluid and less bounded. Rob Cross and Andrew Parker have walked the walk by analyzing real organizations. Now they talk the talk, linking their concrete experience with scholarly acumen to show how understanding networks can improve communication and productivity. This clearly written book pays off doubly-for managers and for scholars."
Barry Wellman, Founder, International Network for Social Network Analysis, University of Toronto

"At last! A comprehensible research-based text on social networks written for those who actually want to do something productive with these networks. Well written, down to earth, and very valuable, this book is sure to be cited and used for many years into the future."
Larry Prusak, Distinguished Scholar, Babson College

"Informal social networks are the hidden source of power and influence and the real pathways for getting things done in any organization. This book brings into sharp focus this often under-appreciated aspect of organizational life. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to be a leader."
Nitin Nohria, Richard P. Chapman Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School, and author of What Really Works
