Abstract

This chapter discloses how the analysis of networks as a living and evolving whole, according to the theory of qualitative structure, allows the development of a conceptual evolutionary framework for networking strategies as a scheme to explain how networks emerge, evolve step-by-step, and how they can be managed. The framework of networking strategies based on the theory of qualitative structure is presented in this chapter.
