Social Media as a business tool, soft skills, networking
"The top soft skills are more human-centric and are the essential interpersonal skills that make or break our ability to get things done.
Using social media is a big part of this and Pole-Bokor - who is an industry expert for the Master of Business Management of The University of Auckland - says it is a powerful tool for business communication and marketing because its platforms connect people and provide "networking on the internet". |
