摘要
Measuring management in networks is difficult because the allocation of managerial resources in network structures is fluid-that is, the utilization of management behaviors varies across time and space within a given program or project. As a means of focusing the network management research agenda, propositions based in contingency logic are suggested to test ideas regarding when, why, and how network managers undertake these behaviors. The propositions ore intended to identify the vast inventory of network management behaviors and, most importantly, determine how the manager strategically matches behaviors with the governing context. Suggestions are also offered to help us understand how and why managerial resources are reallocated over time and space. The proposed research agenda is offered as a guide to help us determine which choices are most likely to be effective.
