Footnotes

[1]

This essay is based on the keynote address given by the author at the Summer School on the Analysis of Political and Managerial Networks, University of Tilburg, September 23, 2005, a lecture at the East China University of Science and Technology Workshop on Social Network and Relationship Management, June 20, 2006, and a presentation at the Macro Organization Seminar at Northwestern University, November 4, 2006. I would like to thank Patrick Kenis and Joerg Raab for their comments on the Tilburg presentation. I also draw heavily on a review article that I co-authored on networks and organizations (Brass et al., 2004) and Kilduff and Tsai's (2003) useful book, Social Networks and Organizations. Finally, I would like to thank Dan Brass, Yanjie Bian, Wenpin Tsai and Anne Tsui who provided very useful comments on an earlier draft and made numerous suggestions which I have tried to incorporate into this final draft.
