Abstract

This paper explores the implications (methodological, theoretical and managerial) of social constructionism within a network context, especially through comparison with the related constructivist ideas previously applied in network contexts. The paper presents research from one network that demonstrates the application of constructionist ideas to research and highlights the managerial relevance of the philosophy.
