• Family networks: based around a core family
• Proximity networks: based around a certain geography – a neighbourhood where people grew up together; where they met and formed business ties; where they live now or specific focus of their activity
• Cultural networks: where the binding factor is a common language, culture, hometown or friends-in-common. Over time some of these networks will become less exclusively focused around one culture and they might shift to the proximity classification
• Virtual networks: where the networks do not meet physically drawn together by a shared interest

• e.g. language
• values
• belief
• behavior

• hometown
• past
• childhood
• special interest (same music style, sport etc.)
• same talent (competencies)
• social segment
• addiction/vice
• problem
• employer

managers.

–8 Linear thinking is used.

–9 Change strategy is communicated by transmitting messages.

–10 Planning and implementation are sequential.”
