Book Review: A hands-on guide on social network analysis
Summary: 5 Stars
Do you understand the dynamics of the social networks within your organization? Are you even aware of them? Are your workers well-connected with each other? Are they able to collaborate effortlessly? Don't feel bad if you don't know. Few executives understand how workers connect and collaborate within their organizations. To get a better handle on how work actually gets done in your company, turn to "social network analysis." Rob Cross and Andrew Parker explain how to use this diagnostic tool to describe the worker networks that invisibly traverse your organization. With this information, you can uncover and eliminate bottlenecks, roadblocks and hurdles that impede workflow and progress. Plus, you can determine the best ways to enhance employee connectivity and promote collaboration. getAbstract recommends this hands-on guide to you if you want to identify your firm's worker networks and make them more robust for your organization's benefit.
