Please answer the following (in a max of 500 words total):

1. 1. Assess Roizen’s network from the standpoint of “mutual understanding” and “mutual benefit” as discussed in the readings for this week (i.e., Baker, Hoffman & Casnocha): does she use these principles effectively?
   2. The two main forms of power/influence that derive from networks comes from network centrality and brokerage. Does Roizen benefit from one, the other, or both, of these?
