Abstract

Social capital is the set of relationships, shared values, culture, and context that support group cohesion, trust, and teamwork in a society or organization. At the personal level, it describes a person’s ability to benefit from personal connections. It might mean helping a friend in Uruguay connect with a contact in Atlanta to help explore a business opportunity in an emerging field.
