Welcome to the world (Business) Networking in English, an indispensable competence and embodiment of the “21st century learning and life skills” (Watanabe-Crockett, “The Critical 21st Century Skills”), traditionally defined as “the creation and use of personal contacts for one’s own benefit or for the benefit of the group” (Jenkins 65) and a “deliberate and discretionary process of creating, cultivating, and capitalising on trust-based, mutually beneficial relationships for individual and organisational success” (Baber et al. 22), in which you’ll learn how to be ready to educate others about their “business and hopefully turn them into customers” (Ward, “What is Business Networking”).
