The Great Gatsby is one of the first
literary works that comes to mind in connection to entrepreneurship and networking.
While Gatsby's business is illegal, it certainly is successful from a business
standpoint. He relies heavily on networking from his first connection to Dan Cody to his
later association with Meyer Wolfsheim.
A more recent
literary work that discusses entrepreneurship and networking is The Marrowbone
Marble Company by Glenn Taylor. The novel follows orphaned Loyal Ledford
through World War II, the Civil Rights Movement, and his beginning a marble-making
company from scratch. Ledford uses networking to learn the marble-making trade, to train
the best-suited employees for specific skills, and to market his
product.
