Network Communities: Strategies for Digital Collaboration Book Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
The book focuses on the topic of network communities, understood as geographically localized communities which adopted digital broadband infrastructure to leverage the capabilities of their citizens, through promoting economic development, organizational performance and the quality of life. The book is aimed at mainly practitioners: community leaders and stakeholders that would like to improve collaboration within their communities. The book, however, may also be helpful for academics, as it discuss a variety of relevant issues related to the topic, bringing an interesting and updated list of references. The book is grounded mainly in two sources: the academic literature on network communities and the lessons learnt from the Intelligent Community Forum (ICF), an organization which organizes conferences and meetings on the theme. The authors are consultants of the ICF, and want to spread experiences from the communities associated with this forum to other communities around the world. The authors elaborate best practices related to different aspects of community development to guide community leaders and stakeholders in developing their collectives. The book has two main strengths. Firstly, it covers a broad range of issues that are relevant to the development of network communities. Secondly, it brings many examples from the literature and the empirical cases the authors have access through the Intelligent network Communities: Strategies for digital Collaboration
