An overview of what networks are and how they are used in marketing management practices is provided in this volume. Leading scholars in the field examine various types of relationships including: customer-to-customer networks; relationships as investment opportunities; and strategic alliances. They also investigate market dynamics and structure and consumer networks. In conclusion, several advanced methodological issues and future research directions are examined.
