Description: The interorganizational network is rapidly emerging as a key type of organization, and the importance of the network is expected to increase throughout the 21st century. Developing Network Organizations: Learning from Practice and Theory covers the process of developing these complex systems. Chisholm uses in-depth description and analysis based on direct involvement with three diverse networks to identify critical aspects of the development process.

Chisholm explains relevant concepts and appropriate methods and practices in the context of developing these three networks, bringing the reader along on his journey of learning about these networks and their development. He also identifies ten key learnings derived from his direct involvement with the development process.
