Hidden Assets: Harnessing the Power of Informal Networks

This volume marks a milestone in organizational science. Based on his diverse personal experiences and two decades of interdisciplinary research, Dr. Ehin unveils the ＂mysteries＂ and shows the practicality of tapping into the ever evolving, yet extraordinarily powerful, informal networks present in all social groups. He reveals the extraordinarily dynamic and tight linkage between three ＂hidden＂ organizational success factors responsible for most work accomplished in both for profit and non-profit ventures, especially in the development of new innovations. The book explains why most mergers fail and why an average employee only works at two-thirds of his/her capacity.

Dr. Charles Ehin is Professor of Management Emeritus and former Dean of the Gore School of Business at Westminster College of Salt Lake City. He is the author of Unleashing Intellectual Capital (Butterworth-Heinemann, 2000) and Aftermath (Publish America, 2004). His website is www.UnManagement.com.
