Abstract

A new term--networks--has entered the vocabulary of corporate renewal. Ten companies (among them, Conrail, Dun & Bradstreet, Du Pont, and Royal Bank of Canada) provide good examples of networks and how they operate. The process of building a network starts at the top, where senior managers work to build a new social architecture. Networks change the frequency, intensity, and honesty of the dialogue among managers on priority tasks.
