The report explores how the principles of social networks intersect with the interests of traditionally structured organisations and examines how organisations are responding to the increasing importance of social networks.
The organisational case studies in the book look at the challenges and opportunities that new social networking technologies offer. These organisations were faced with a range of dilemnas including questions around the right mix of online and offline networking; the tensions between managerialism and organisational ‘looseness’ and the blurring boundaries between professional and personal.
