Networks in the Public Sector - Michael D Siciliano - Bog

"Much of our social, political, and professional lives are motivated and influenced by the relationships we form with others. Networks play a critical role in shaping beliefs and behaviors as they provide the context through which information is acquired, shared meanings develop, activity is coordinated, and norms are established (Coleman, 1990; Friedkin & Johnsen, 2011; McLean, 2017). Given the fundamental role networks play in our lives, researchers have advocated that fields of inquiry adopt a network perspective (Considine, Lewis, & Alexander, 2009; Krackhardt & Brass, 1994; Robins, 2015)"--
