2. How do any of the internal factors (trust, leadership or shared values) affect the
development and evolution of a network?
3. How is network performance measured? How does performance change with time?
4. How do networks impact the local healthcare system?
Admission requirements:
• a strong first degree (UK level 2.1 minimum)
• please see website for English language requirements.
Deadlines:
• applications for scholarships – mid-April
• self-funded applications – 15 July.
Expressions of interest, alongside a CV, are invited via email to
colin.pilbeam@cranfield.ac.uk in the first instance.
See full details on our website.
Networks of individuals and organizations are used increasingly to provide health and social care in
the UK. They provide opportunities to focus resources on particularly significant and major health
conditions, for example diabetes, cancer and stroke patients, combining relevant skills to deliver
care more effectively. However, networks vary considerably in their structural form and mode of
governance and it remains unclear how contextual variation influences these two key characteristics
of networks. Moreover, while we know that inter-personal trust, role complementarity, shared values
and leadership all significantly contribute to the initiation and establishment of a network, we know
little about how these influences change as the network develops or indeed whether they stimulate
network change. Uncertainty also lies in the real benefit derived from networks; individual
organizational not collective performance is measured. Greater effectiveness is assumed.
In partnership with Diabetes UK, Cranfield School of Management is seeking a PhD student on
either a full-time or part-time basis to investigate any of these potential research questions:
1. How do differences in environmental context affect the choice of governance and the structural
form of a network?
