This major two-volume collection presents a comprehensive overview of the
scholarly literature exploring the emergence, functioning and forms of
networks, focusing on their role in the economy.The collection draws from a
broad range of disciplinary backgrounds to combine key writings that have
defined the field with more recent contributions in emerging areas of network
research.
Volume I introduces networks as a distinctive governance structure.The
collection explores critical antecedents and social exchange conditions of
networks such as trust, reputation, power, and cohesion and also examines the
vulnerability of networks.Volume II features pivotal network processes and
dynamics such as access, learning and innovation, mobilization and
recombination, and diffusion.The collection covers the spectrum of various
network forms and elucidates the key features of regional, informal, business
and project networks.
These insightful volumes will be an essential source of reference for students
and researchers alike.
