Abstract
In the introductory chapter of the book we present the
framework for network dynamics and management based on a
comprehensive practice-based perspective. The framework
serves as platform through which it is possible to figure
out the comprehensive system-like nature of networking.
In the framework, we use ideas adapted from the
strategy-as-practice research stream and propose a
specific networks-as-practice model. The framework
introduces three categories of networking practices that
we assume to grasp a great deal of inter-organizational
interaction: Networks-as-coordinated social systems,
Networks-as-knowledge-creating platforms, and
Networks-as-value-generating entities.
