Abstract

In view of the growing importance of network-based collaboration in both the public sector and private sector, it is quite surprising how little we know about how network member organizations actually practice leadership in the networks in which they are involved. This chapter lays the groundwork for the book, introducing the research question and key research issues in the field, highlighting the relevance of reflexive network leadership for research and managerial practice, situating the book in the recent practice-turn in the social sciences, providing an outlook on the two empirical case studies informing theory building, and summarizing key theoretical and practical implications.
