# The Influence Economy

**The Influence Economy** is a 2025 book by co-author [[entity-maxim-sytch|Maxim Sytch]], published by **Oxford University Press**.

*Enrichment context:* the book examines how influence and networks shape organizational strategy and outcomes — the intellectual backdrop for this article's emphasis on power sharing ([[concept-co-created-racis]]), temporarily leveling hierarchy ([[concept-flat-mode]]), and tailoring decision rights to context rather than rank ([[quote-tailoring-roles]]).
