{"product_id":"networks-in-the-knowledge-economy","title":"Networks in the Knowledge Economy","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn today's de-layered, knowledge-intensive organizations, most work of importance is heavily reliant on informal networks of employees within organizations. However, most organizations do not know how to effectively analyze this informal structure in ways that can have a positive impact on organizational performance. Networks in the Knowledge Economy is a collection of readings on the application of social network analysis to managerial concerns. Social\n\u003cbr\u003enetwork analysis (SNA), a set of analytic tools that can be used to map networks of relationships, allows one to conduct very powerful assessments of information sharing within a network with relatively little\n\u003cbr\u003eeffort. This approach makes the invisible web of relationships between people visible, helping managers make informed decisions for improving both their own and their group's performance. Networks in the Knowledge Economy is specifically concerned with networks inside of organizations and addresses three critical areas in the study of social networks: Social Networks as Important Individual and Organizational Assets, Social Network Implications for Knowledge Creation and Sharing, and\n\u003cbr\u003eManagerial Implications of Social Networks in Organizations. Professionals and students alike will find this book especially valuable, as it provides readings on the application of social network analysis that\n\u003cbr\u003ereflect managerial concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46059399119086,"sku":"9780195159509","price":163.21,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780195159509.jpg?v=1736498480","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/networks-in-the-knowledge-economy","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
