online and face-to-face networking will both continue to flourish, Networking and social capital education will gain in popularity, and that small companies will continue to have the edge over big companies in business networking.
Upland, CA (PRWEB) May 16, 2007 -
When we stop and think about it, organized networking is a fairly new kid on the block. From the mid 1980s through the 90s, systems and structures began to emerge that shifted a lot of business owners from the single-minded focus of direct selling to a broader scope, which included relationship marketing and networking.
Recently, Entrepreneur.com published an article entitled "Networking Trends: Education and Technology Are Key," written by Dr. Ivan Misner. Misner divulges that there are now several emerging issues and trends surrounding the process of networking that are being created out of the need to find an effective way to develop business for entrepreneurs and sales people in this new century.
Three of the most prominent trends, says Misner, are that "online and face-to-face networking will both continue to flourish, Networking and social capital education will gain in popularity, and that small companies will continue to have the edge over big companies in business networking."
Misner emphasizes that these trends are not just an American phenomenon, but an international one; and small-business development through the process of building social capital will continue to grow in the global market.
