Abstract "There is a tendency for companies to follow a traditional model and structure without giving much thought to whether this really suits their needs. In today's knowledge economy, managers must re-evaluate company structures to allow for more efficient and reactive organizations, and also make the most of crucial networking opportunities. In this book, Pedro Pablo Ramos shows companies how to understand the flexible nature of networks to enable them to make the best use of their own networks within the organization, as well as the external networks to which they belong."--Publisher's
