This is a review of argument and evidence on the connection between social networks and social capital. My summary points are three: (1) Research and theory will better cumulate across studies if we focus on the network mechanisms responsible for social capital effects rather than trying to integrate across metaphors of social capital loosely tied to distant empirical indicators. (2) There is an impressive diversity of empirical evidence showing that social capital is more a function of brokerage across structural holes than closure within a network, but there are contingency factors. (3) The two leading network mechanisms can be brought together in a productive way within a more general model of social capital Structural holes are the source of value added, but network closure can be essential to realizing the value buried in the holes.

...tion than by its structure (Coleman, 1988; Whitener, 2000). That is, social capital is based on relationships, which are created through interpersonal exchange (Bourdieu, 1986). In this manner social capital requires an interpersonal lens that is grounded in a relational model of leadership (Drath & Palus, 1994). At the heart of this relational model are commitments in the form of mutual obligations, which are supported by reciprocated trust and respect (Brower, Schoorman, & Tan, 2000). Commitments, trust, and respect correspond roughly to three different aspects of social capital proposed by Nahapiet and Ghoshal (1998): structural, relational, and cognitive. The structural dimension pertains primarily to social interactions typically assessed by means of network ties (Tsai & Ghoshal, 1998). The social structure of interactions—and an actor’s location in relation to his or her contacts— has been shown to provide resources to the actor as well as the organization (Burt, 1992). This structure is formed as a result of the commitments among all parties in a given social network. The relational dimension of social capital refers to functional assets that are rooted in networked relationships, such as trust and tr...

Because of the increasing interests on knowledge management (KM), various researches have been accomplished. Many conceptual research frameworks have been proposed and thus empirical researches are required to provide practical benefits. However, most current empirical researches have dealt with the relationship of knowledge management enablers, processes or performance in isolation. Accordingly, an integrated view of knowledge management is missing and thus how to perform knowledge management to improve organizational performance is not clear. In order to alleviate these limitations of the previous researches, this study analyzes the current research frameworks and finds their relationships. An integrated research model is built by incorporating knowledge management processes into organizational performance. The model is tested empirically to investigate the relationship between knowledge management processes and enablers such as organizational structure, culture, and information technologies. The correlation between knowledge management processes and organizational creativity is also identified. Both non-financial and financial performance measures are adopted to measure the impact of knowledge management. The findings of this study imply that knowledge management processes are significant predictors for

We define cultural entrepreneurship as the process of storytelling that mediates between extant stocks of entrepreneurial resources and subsequent capital acquisition and wealth creation. We propose a framework that focuses on how entrepreneurial stories facilitate the crafting of a new venture identity that serves as a touchstone upon which legitimacy may be conferred by investors, competitors, and consumers, opening up access to new capital and market opportunities. Stories help create competitive advantage for entrepreneurs through focal content shaped by two key forms of entrepreneurial capital: firm-specific resource capital and industry-level institutional capital. We illustrate our ideas with anecdotal entrepreneurial stories that range from contemporary high-technology accounts to the evolution of the mutual fund industry. Propositions are offered to guide future empirical research based on our framework. Theoretically, we aim to extend recent efforts to synthesize strategic and institutional perspectives by incorporating insights from contemporary approaches to culture and organizational identity.

We examined how aspects of intellectual capital influenced various innovative capa-bilities in organizations. In a longitudinal, multiple-informant study of 93 organiza-tions, we found that human, organizational, and social capital and their interrelation-ships selectively influenced incremental and radical innovative capabilities. As anticipated, organizational capital positively influenced incremental innovative capa-bility, while human capital interacted with social capital to positively influence radical innovative capability. Counter to our expectations, however, human capital by itself was negatively associated with radical innovative capability. Interestingly, social capital played a significant role in both types of innovation, as it positively influenced incremental and radical innovative capabilities. It is widely accepted that an organization’s capa-bility to innovate is closely tied to its intellectual capital, or its ability to utilize its knowledge re-sources. Several studies have underscored how new products embody organizational knowledge (e.g., Stewart, 1997), described innovation as a knowledge management process (e.g., Madhavan & Grover, 1998), and characterized innovative com-panies as knowledge creating (e.g., Nonaka & Takeuchi, 1995). So close are the ties between re-search on knowledge and research on innovation, in fact, that in recent years scholars have seen a blurring of the boundaries between these areas. It is now quite common for studies examining innova-tion to use knowledge or intellectual capital as antecedents, and studies investigating knowledge and intellectual capital frequently use innovation

Explaining how entrepreneurs overcome information asymmetry between themselves and potential investors to obtain financing is an important issue for entrepreneurship research. Our premise is that economic explanations for venture finance, which do not consider how social ties influence this process, are undersocialized and incomplete. However, we also argue that organization theoretic arguments, which draw on the concept of social obligation, are oversocialized. Drawing on the organizational theory literature, and in-depth fieldwork with 50 high-technology ventures, we examine the effects of direct and indirect ties between entrepreneurs and 202 seed-stage investors on venture finance decisions. We show that these ties influence the selection of ventures to fund through a process of information transfer. (Entrepreneurship; Venture Finance; Social Capital) Entrepreneurs are often wealth constrained, and need to obtain external financing to pursue their opportunities, making financing central to the process of entrepreneurship (Evans and Leighton 1989, Casson
