Summary In line with the multi-disciplinary nature of network research, this edited volume collects both empirical and conceptual contributions that nurture the debate on network research, specifically dealing with the topics of network performance and agency. The contributions draw on different literatures and epistemic approaches and address different levels of analysis, both from a static and a dynamic point of view. It will be of great interest to academics and students developing research in the field of network studies. It will also be of interest to scholars of operations management, organization studies, strategy, innovation, financial management and business history.
