Digital Relationships: Network Agency Theory and Big Tech
In 2023, Jason published his first book titled Digital Relationships: Network Agency Theory and Big Tech. This book focuses on why organizations fail to mobilize the social networks that their employees use. This book was reviewed by Mark Granovetter who stated, "In this highly original volume, Jason Davis revisits the classic problem that individual and organizational goals typically diverge. He does so in the context of modern digital media that dramatically facilitate individuals' creation of network ties. When such networking is at cross-purposes to organizational well-being – as often happens when weak ties proliferate – managers badly need the ingenious advice that Davis offers." It was also reviewed by Kathleen Eisenhardt who stated, "Rarely does a book come along that so completely rewrites what we thought we knew. Digital Relationships is just such a book. It's a 'must-read' for academics and executives who want to understand why social networks are so challenging. By probing the deepening chasm between individual and organizational interests, Digital Relationships will re-shape your conception of how social networks work. And more often, don't."
