Abstract

The paper presents an overview of new network and networking ideas as well as their impact on contemporary changes in economy and culture under conditions of globalisation and intensive development of international business. Networking processes and new network-based development tendencies in economy and culture are described and defined as a particularly important field of scientific cognition. The complexity and systematics of networking and network-creation processes are analysed. The main focus is on the idea that they could be perceived as one of the most important priorities of the modernisation of contemporary economy and culture, as well as of social, economic, and political development as well as scientific and technological progress. Promising directions of the scientific research on networking and networks are also characterised.
