Reviews

The book is a well-conceived and executed discussion of social networking from an organizational perspective. The editors chose previously published articles as their threads, then proceeded to weave a vibrant and well designed tapestry that gives readers a sense of theoretic richness accompanied by a fine-grained definition achieved through their selection of empirically based studies. -Academy of Management Executive.
