Why read it?
1 author picked Brokerage and Closure as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Do you want a serious look at the science behind how people and firms work together, and how they can draw advantages from it. Read this book first. It describes the main principles that determine what networks are best and who draws the benefits from them – remember, networks create value and distribute value!
