Abstract :
There are many actual groups that rely on networks to organize their activities. Arab Spring and Science Teams are two examples. One of our original motivations in this work was to build models that explain and understand how these groups form and operate. We have recognized that there are many environments that do not yet take full advantage of network features (e.g., electric and water supply coops). This prompted our second motivation to propose an automation model using networks for the latter group. We then wanted to combine our motivations to conceive of a unified model of network organizations. A unified model seemed to be limited to requirements of specific domains. In order to extricate ourselves from domains, we considered modeling at a more generalized level that cut across domains. The best way to formulate this was to consider a perspective that would model a generic network organization. This perspective came to be considered, in this paper, as a paradigm. For network centricity in this paradigm, synergy and social capital are introduced as specific network effects to enhance performance at various levels of an organization.
