Abstract

The need to research social networks that operate through interactions between business organizations is influenced by current realities, where the business environment is rapidly changing, which is one of the main challenges facing agribusiness organizations in modern conditions. The purpose of this paper is to justify the social networks importance for sustainable development of agribusiness organizations, based on a review existing interpretation in the specialized literature on the nature of the concept of "social networks" and given examples of networks that are actually operating at national level. The topic of research is based on the network's characteristics noted in specialized literature as a key tool to supporting and promoting the sustainable agribusiness organizations development.
