Networking
Networking is a process that fosters the exchange
of information and ideas among individuals or
groups that share a common interest. It may be for
social or business purposes. Professionals
connect their business network through a series of
symbolic ties and contacts. Business connections
may form due to an individual's education,
employer, industry or colleagues.
