Business Networks - Brief from the NSW Small Business website

This Brief on Business Networks explains the why, what and how of successful business networks. It includes snapshots of several established networks and background on the program of assistance available from the NSW Department of State and Regional Development (DSRD) to assist business networks to form and develop.

Networks are largely an underdeveloped resource in the business world and a strategy choice when businesses face complex issues in the domestic, interstate and international marketplace.

The information in this Brief is designed to help small business owners and operators understand what business networks are, their variety and their potential advantages for business development and growth. 

Case studies introduce you to some of the dynamics of successful networks, as well as how they can be created and sustained.
