Informal networks can be a major obstacle to the effectiveness of
managers. At the same time though, they can enable and facilitate
business activities and support the efficiency and effectiveness of
managerial actions. Since informal ties and networks can have a
bright and a dark side, it is important for international managers
to understand the way they work in the respective cultural context.
Informal networks are often perceived as pervasive in emerging
markets such as China or Russia, to be used to instrumentalize
social capital and develop a relational competitive advantage or to
simply circumvent formal rules. Contrary to this perception, they
often stand for sociability and social cohesion, antecedents of a
strong society. To date it remains unclear whether multinational
enterprises have processes in place to identify, control, and
manage informal ties and networks. Informal Networks in
International Business sheds light into the complex nature of
informal networks and the respective context in which they operate.
Leading experts provide insights into novel research themes and
extend conventional research paths on informal network phenomena in
the international business context. The contributions in this
edited volume help international business scholars, students, and
international managers in globally operating organizations alike to
develop knowledge about the dynamics, complexities and ambiguities
of informal networks and informal networking worldwide.
