Social Capital in Networks of Relations

Steffen Lippert

Chapter 6 in Social Capital, Corporate Social Responsibility, Economic Behaviour and Performance, 2011, pp 149-160 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The idea of social capital is increasingly used in various fields of social science, but rigorous definitions of this concept are rare. According to Narayan and Pritchett (1999), social capital ‘is many things to many people’. This confusion does not contribute to the growth of knowledge in these fields.
