He does so in the context of modern digital media that dramatically facilitate individuals' creation of network ties. When such networking is at cross-purposes to organizational well-being – as often happens when weak ties proliferate – managers badly need the ingenious advice that Davis offers.\"—Mark Granovetter, Joan Butler Ford Professor, Stanford University; author of \u003ci\u003eSociety and Economy: Framework and Principles\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Rarely does a book come along that so completely rewrites what we thought we knew. \u003ci\u003eDigital Relationships\u003c\/i\u003e is just such a book. It's a 'must-read' for academics and executives who want to understand why social networks are so challenging. By probing the deepening chasm between individual and organizational interests, \u003ci\u003eDigital Relationships\u003c\/i\u003e will re-shape your conception of how social networks work. And more often, don't.\"—Kathleen Eisenhardt, S. W.
