Effective Management of Social Networks
Wednesday, 6 April 2011, CIIM Building, Nicosia

Why do some people or organizations outperform others? Is it because they have superior human capital or organizational capability?  Research shows that in addition to their capabilities, successful people or organizations know how to improve their wealth, health, and happiness by creating rich social capital, tapping the hidden resources in their business, professional, and personal social networks. Rich social capital produces higher pay, faster promotions, better jobs, funding for new ventures, new business opportunities, and profitable companies. This course offers an alternative answer to the two questions by focusing on social capital: what it is, how to build it, and how to use it to achieve your goals.
