Abstract
'The contributors have collectively put forward new theories of change and management which have been informed by various programmes of research. A notable resource for both researchers and practitioners as they continue to understand the cross-disciplinary nature of the dialogue on organizations' - Leadership and Organization Development Journal. This is the first major study of new network forms of organizing. The rich array of data generated provides fresh insights into the network organization, and suggests new methodologies for organizational research.
