Networking: Open Possibilities Part II Social Capital and Innovation

This simple model networking is also replicable in the context of application for positions work, search for business opportunities or a business angel . According to traditional classification, we could say that adapts to the three types of networking that literature has identified: operational, personal and strategic.

course here, one of the key elements relates to the concept of "networks" and the way in which each person is connected with other united by common interests. The rise of social technologies and offers an excellent context rich in tools that facilitate the establishment of networks for different purposes (to get jobs, share information, business, etc.)

While larger and more robust than networks to build a person, the greater the benefits you get from your network. Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, blogs, forums and more. are paradigmatic examples this. Learning to use these tools is a concrete way to optimize our capabilities networking, creating new communication channels and opening new possibilities for action.

Finally, the issue of networking is becoming increasingly effective in the world of management and fortunately there is plenty of theory and tools to learn a lot from him. The advances can be made here, will provide stakeholders very valuable tools and skills.

Regions WHERE tight social ties Are May Be The worst places for creative Operations.

Have Notions about innovation is undergone a change in the last decade. Where Once We Embrace the idea of \u200b\u200bthe lone scientist or entrepreneur and divine inspiration, we now see networks of creative people collaborating in the myriad steps from brainstorm to finished product. This new understanding has aligned perfectly with the emerging concept of social capital, the idea that strong social networks—tight communities bound by shared norms, trust, and reciprocity—enhance cooperation and productivity. When people belong to communities with high levels of social capital, the theory goes, they’re far more willing to work together and take chances on risky ideas. It followed that high social capital would fuel innovation.

Our studies of regional innovation and economic development, however, show just the opposite. In independent ongoing research projects, we looked at hundreds of metropolitan areas in the United States, comparing levels of social capital and levels of innovation (as measured by technological intensity and number of patents filed). We found that areas with low levels of innovation—such as Bismarck, North Dakota; Birmingham, Alabama; and Cleveland—scored high on social capital. Conversely, areas that did well on innovation—Seattle; Boulder, Colorado; and the San Francisco Bay area—tended to have below-average levels of social capital.

Why? Research has shown that weighing against the benefits that strong ties create is another dynamic. Relationships can get so strong that the community becomes complacent and insulated from outside information and challenges. Strong ties can also promote the sort of conformity that undermines innovation. Weak ties, on the other hand, allow a basic level of information sharing and collaboration while permitting newcomers with different ideas to be accepted quickly into the social network. Thus, social groups with weak ties could be expected to encourage innovative thinking.

This finding has implications for where companies locate their operations. We found two seemingly unrelated indexes to be excellent predictors of a region’s level of innovative activity. The first assesses an area’s social tolerance and diversity by estimating its proportion of gay couples in the population—the so-called gay index. The second, the bohemian index, measures cultural activity by determining the proportion of artists such as musicians, designers, writers, actors, photographers, and dancers in the labor force. Regions that rank high on the gay and bohemian indexes are likely to have the weaker social ties that promote innovation. Of the 206 regions we measured, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington DC rank in the top ten on the bohemian and gay indexes, as well as on one of our key measures of innovative activity.

Increasingly, creative people are choosing not to live in places with high social capital. Instead, they’re flowing to environments with low social capital, cities and college towns where they can fit in quickly but still find their ideas challenged by other people, whether in business or the arts. These Findings Have Implications for nurturing innovation companies Within as well. Companies That foster diversity and Openness Internally-even at the cost of cohesiveness-May Some Do Better in Attracting talented, creative and encouraging Innovative Collaboration empleados.

Networking: Open Possibilities Part I of Neurophysiology

What differentiates successful leaders who are not so?
His networking, namely the creation of a group of people who provide support, feedback and resources you need to make things done. Many people, however, avoid such practices as in any way manipulative or biased, or simply because they say they have no time for them.
The truth is that with the overabundance of information, the growing complexity of processes and the fierce market competition, the world of management has responded by emphasizing the importance of teamwork and the ability to network or networking. The notion of "distributed knowledge" assumes that information is everywhere and that the only way to keep up there is through a network of information built upon the contributions of people with common interests.

What we understand as networking?
is the set of relationships aimed at achieving goals and develop personally and professionally. May include activities such as sending an email, talking on the phone, play golf or have a coffee with someone.
Consider the example of a top executive who wanted to stay very current on their fields of interest. It would be naive to think that utopia would be able to search and process all the information you need to know to succeed. The truth is that you can only get this in so far that has a network of people that suggests, says, "linkee" or criticize an article, a blog, a documentary or a book. In any case, this network could be any type of community, researchers, quality circle (in organizations) and amateurs are connected and may generate a flow of information.
