DC_1 FINAL


 Networks are an important part of our daily lives no  matter whether physical, social or information networks
What are networks and how they actually work can you learn in the video… comment, share, subscribe! :)

But why networks are so important?
The 21st century is the era of a information society, where it is mainly about minimizing the friction between demand and supply. For organization networks are necessary to sustain success.

Networks provide Organizations with:

Opportunities
Advice
Influence
Knowledge
Resources
Assistance


How does it fit to the example of the melanoma foundation?
In the video an example Melanoma foundation represents the centre of the network, which is connected to the nodes.

For the melanoma foundation it is important to:

spread information -> e.g.  Target Group, affected people,
access to information -> e.g Academia, industry,
share information  -> e.g. other NGOs, affected people

In the case of our fictive melanoma foundation the network helps to fulfill the  Mission and Vision, that have the purpose to lower the numbers of Melanoma diagnoses.

Read you next week!
