Building on the historical analysis of organizations and theories
that have influenced their development, Gianfranco Dioguardi
provides an insightful exploration of the network enterprise and
its evolution from the Medieval guilds to the present innovation
clusters of Silicon Valley, the Research Triangle, Route 128, and
other regions in the U.S and around the world. Providing in-depth
analysis of production systems and the evolution of "lean
manufacturing" principles, Dioguardi integrates history, sociology,
management theory, and economics to explore the dynamics of
organizations that operate as networks and interact with other
firms along the supply chain and in complementary industries. In a
technology-enabled environment, the boundaries between products and
services and across enterprises become blurred-and create the
context for entrepreneurship, innovation, and dissemination of
knowledge. Several chapters are devoted to practical concerns of
managing the network enterprise, with a particular interest in the
ethical and cultural issues. Dioguardi concludes with discussion of
the role of the network enterprise in new firm creation and
economic growth.
