NPM as a theory

NPM, or Network Power Model, is a strategic framework used to analyze how organizations leverage relationships and networks to influence outcomes and gain competitive advantage. It emphasizes the importance of social, informational, and resource connections within and between networks. By understanding these interactions, organizations can identify key players, optimize collaborations, and enhance their strategic position. NPM highlights that influence is not just about resources, but also about the strength and structure of relationships, making it a valuable tool for managing and strengthening organizational networks in complex environments.
