Book Reviews of The Hidden Power of Social Networks: Understanding How Work Really Gets Done in Organizations
Book Review: Very Accessible Introduction for practitioners
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the first accessible introduction to social network analysis and its potential applications for practitioners and consultants. Cross and Parker draw on their extensive consulting based research to provide the readers with practical examples and cases. Rather than staying on the level of The Tipping Point and Linked, they actually go into providing sociograms and explaining the steps used in their analysis. The work also comprises an interesting Appendix with tools. I recommend it to consultants and executives that are looking to apply social network analysis as an additional tool for OD purposes.
