Teaching "people networking" skills for CIS students

چکیده
Recent research on organizational social networks has continued to emphasize the importance of networks for individual as well as organizational performance in the U.S. Given the importance of networks and networking, we argue that IT students must learn networking skills in addition to technical skills in order to better understand the role of technology in organizations and to increase their chances of success in their careers. The goal of this paper is to describe a teaching module that we developed for CIS undergraduate students to improve their networking skills.
