Abstract

Emerging technologies embody innovation; acquisition of flexible skills (technology-agnostic) makes new graduates more employable. Social media is one such technology. Although emerged as a leisure communication medium, it has reached business and entrepreneurial spaces. Yet, few business schools maintain an innovation-led approach to teaching their graduates (particularly destined for leadership roles such as MBAs) social networking skills. In addition to career management opportunities reflected through social capital formation, social network has the potential to serve as knowledge accumulation platform and enable lifelong learning. This chapter proposes such framework and opens further questions for researchers for investigation.
