Social networks in higher education management

Abstract

A social network is a web-based application, a system of open relationships and exponential growth. On a social network, a user invites other users to establish an online connection via the platform. In turn, each user also creates their own group of contacts to create a network of connections (Assimakopoulos et al. 2017; Cheung et al. 2011). In the educational arena, a social network can also be a tool to support management decisions.
