This volume makes a significant contribution to the crisis
management literature. It also adds to our inchoate understanding
of network governance: temporary teams and task forces, communities
of practice, alliances, and virtual organizations. It hints that
the distinction between networks and organizations may be somewhat
spurious, a matter of degree rather than kind. Indeed, it seems
that this distinction may derive more from mental models in which
we consistently reify organizations than anything else. Finally,
the volume emphasizes the functional importance of leadership in
network governance and puzzles over its provision in the absence of
hierarchy. As such, it adds to the contributions made by Marc
Granovetter (1973), John Seeley Brown and Paul Duguid (1991), Bart
Nooteboom (2000), Paul J. DiMaggio (2001), John Arquilla and David
Ronfeldt (2001), Laurence O'Toole and Ken Meier (2004), and others,
as well as Nancy Roberts' seminal work on wicked problems and
hastily formed teams. The result is a product the editor and the
contributors can be proud of. Overall, it is one that will edify,
surprise, and delight its readers.
