      abstract = {"Digital networks are changing all the rules of business.  New, scalable, networked business models, like those of  Amazon, Google, Uber, and Airbnb, are affecting the growth,  scale, and profit potential of companies. But this seismic  shift isn't unique to digital start-ups and tech  superstars. Digital transformation is impacting all  businesses, and as investor capital, top talent, and market  buzz continue to shift toward network organizations, the  performance gap between fast and slow adopters is widening.  So the question isn't whether your organization needs to  change, but when and how much. The Network Imperative is a  call to action for all leaders to embrace network-based  business models. The benefits are indisputable: companies  that leverage digital platforms to co-create and share with  networks of employees, customers, and suppliers are fast  outpacing the market. These companies, or network  orchestrators, grow faster, scale with lower marginal cost,  and generate the highest revenue multipliers. Based on  research of over a thousand companies, Barry Libert, Megan  Beck, and Jerry Wind guide leaders and investors through  the ten principles that network businesses use to grow and  profit. They also share a five-step process for pivoting an  organization toward a more scalable and profitable business  model. The Network Imperative, brimming with compelling  case studies and actionable advice, provides managers with  what they really need: new tools and frameworks to thrive  in this rapidly changing age."--},
