Description
Professor's Lecture with Martin Gargiulo
on Informal Networks & Career Progression
Wednesday 27 June at 7pm
Join us as Professor Martin Gargiulo discusses Informal Networks and Career Progression.
Developing the social capital of informal networks
Investments in human capital is essential to succeed in the modern knowledge economy. But the returns people and companies get from these investments depends on the quality of their informal networks, that is, on the quality of their social capital. As business becomes more global and traditional authority more diffuse, firms are paying increasing attention to how their employees develop and nurture the informal networks that help them move information and coordinate complex tasks across organizational boundaries. Yet, informal networks can also become a liability that prevents people and firms from achieving outstanding performance. Understanding how informal networks can help or hinder individual performance and career progression is essential to create the social capital that can help firms unlock the full value of their investments in human capital.
