Abstract


The purpose of this mixed-method study is to examine the relationship between social networking by students and the enhancement of learning of business and management students in institutions of higher education of the US. The researcher conducted a literature review while proposing this topic for the dissertation. During the literature review, it is found that there was a significant research gap in the literature regarding the impact of social networks on the business management skills of students despite the fact that educational institutes in the US were rapidly implementing those networks. A large number of educational institutes have implemented social networks. Still, not much research has been conducted regarding the impact of these networks on the professional development and management skills of business students. Therefore, after identifying this research gap, the researcher is proposing to fill this research gap by conducting a primary study analyzing the impact of social networks on the management skills of students.
