Presentation Summary

Social Networking in Business:
Better or Worse than the Real Thing?

It is important to have a network of individuals or clients in order to get ahead in any business today. Social Networking has created a platform which helps to bring professionals together for such a purpose. Like any other forms of communication in business, social networking has its advantages and disadvantages. I was able to examine the positive as well as negative attributes of social networking compared with the idea of meeting in person.

There are Advantages and Disadvantages of Social Networking in Business
Advantages Disadvantages
- Low overhead - Time Consuming for Managers

- Viral Marketing - Mix of Business and Personal

- Building Social Capital - No interpersonal Relationship

So, is it better or worse….I dare say that it is better than the real thing because most of your possible clients are going to be online anyway and this form of new media has being growing rapidly over the last few years. It is a good way to reach customers and build your reputation as a company.

  1. Your presentation was really good.. your slides were very well prepared. I didn't know there were so many business related social networking sites. I have to go check them out, perhaps they'd be able to assist me when the time comes.
