Abstract

Within an ever-changing and dynamic setting, managers need to develop new skills to enable them to swiftly respond to changes in the environment. One of the skills required of twenty-first century managers and entrepreneurs is the ability to create and maintain contact networks. Nevertheless, networking is not achieved simply by knowing its key techniques. It requires time, effort, and a great deal of practice. Accordingly, following an analysis of the concept of networking and its different types, this chapter addresses the key aspects for creating and upholding them: the principles of networking, its main obstacles, and the techniques used to facilitate it, such as social networks, visibility and exposure events, and mentoring. A further contribution involves the planning of networking to ensure its specific goals are met. Good network planning will ensure the more efficient achievement of networking skills, experiences, and resources.
