A network can be defined as ‘a complex, interconnected group or system’, and networking involves using that arrangement to accomplish particular tasks. Whilst there is little consensus in aims or means, there appears to be some agreement that a network

is more than an aggregation of bilateral relationships or dyads, and therefore the configuration, nature and content of a network impose additional constraints and present additional opportunities. A network can be thought of as consisting of a number of positions or nodes, occupied by individuals, firms, business units, universities, governments, customers or other actors, and links or interactions between these nodes.
