The Networking "Menu": Fostering Student Networking in Online Management Courses
Management Teaching Review, v9 n1 p67-81 2024
The Networking "Menu" is a customizable learning experience for online students to explore various ways to network virtually and to sharpen their networking skills. The "menu" offers four networking options for students to select from. Some networking options require that students network with their peers via virtual platforms (e.g., an online coffee break/happy hour and a shared activity), while other options (e.g., a network analysis and 5-minute favors) explore key networking concepts. The Networking "Menu" simulates the networking that occurs within the campus setting and challenges student perceptions that networking is "icky" by providing students with online networking opportunities that benefit others. This learning experience is applicable to online synchronous/asynchronous courses in organizational behavior (or other courses that cover networking concepts) at the undergraduate and graduate levels. A description of The Networking "Menu" options, supplemental materials for implementing the options, and questions for debriefing the exercise is provided.
