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 network 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 effort. This approach makes the invisible web of relationships between people visible  helping managers make informed decisions for improving both their own and their groups 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 Managerial 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 reflect managerial concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279830507573,"sku":"ByrdShop_0195159500","price":38.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780195159509.jpg?v=1780612648","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/networks-in-the-knowledge-economy-9780195159509","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
