CEVAP:

There are two main advantages of network forms. First, networks are capable of extremely rapid information exchange because they can process information in multiple directions at the same time. Rapid information exchange enables network partners to exploit opportunities before non-networked competitors even become aware that they exist. Second, the relative independence of decision making allows experimentation and learning, and new knowledge can be rapidly diffused throughout the network. By enhancing the spread of information and bringing together different logics and novel combinations of information, networks provide the conditions for innovation.
