大多数关于公共部门网络的文献都把重点放在如何建立和管理系统上，而忽略了网络可能给组织带来的政治问题。这篇文章认为，个别网络节点可以工作，以有利于组织的更多的客户的方式偏向组织的行动。对500个组织五年期业绩数据的分析支持了这一论点。一个经典的理论观点得到了系统的实证研究的支持。虽然网络可以使组织受益匪浅，但它们也有黑暗的一面，管理者和学者需要更认真地考虑。
Most literature on public-sector networks focuses on how to build and manage systems and ignores the political problems that networks can create for organizations. This article argues that individual network nodes can work to bias the organization's actions in ways that benefit the organization's more advantaged clientele. The argument is supported by an analysis of performance data from 500 organizations over a five-year period. A classic theoretical point is supported in a systematic empirical investigation. While networks can greatly benefit the organization, they have a dark side that managers and scholars need to consider more seriously.
