Abstract
A basic introduction to social network analysis is provided, and the social network research relating to power in organizations is reviewed. e focus here is on the context of political activity, the network structure within which political activity occurs. Rather than attempt to integrate the cognitive and behavioral ¢ndings with the structural, how behavior and cognition lead to structural positions of power in organizations is explored instead. Rather than focus on political tactics that may be useful or useless within given structures of relationships, the focus is on social network tactics that may alter the structural constraints on the acquisition of power in organizations. Moving beyond the interpersonal acquisitionof power, the larger network structures are considered that facilitate the e¦ective use of power to bring about large-scale organizational change.
