Networks change the fundamental mindsets through which we understand business and the world around us. The first section of the book considers the rise of networks and the way network-based thinking challenges our views of organizations. In Chapter 1, editors Paul Kleindorfer and Yoram (Jerry) Wind discuss the development of networks and their growing implications for business, as well as providing an overview of the book. In Chapter 2, CK Prahalad examines the role of networks in creating innovations that move beyond stand-alone products to networks that deliver a customer experience. In Chapter 3, Alan Kantrow examines the role of networks in knowledge management, both the ability to harness knowledge in networks and the challenge in forgetting “horse holding” behavior of the past. Finally, in Chapter 4, Russell Palmer draws on his experiences as leader of a major global accounting firm to consider complex issues of leadership across diverse international cultures.
