Livro - Brokerage And Closure - An Introduction To Social Capital

Social capital, the advantage created by location in social structure, is a critical element in business strategy

Who has it, how it works, and how to develop it have become key questions as markets, organizations, and careers become more and more dependent on informal, discretionary relationships

The formal organization deals with accountability; everything else flows through the informal: advice, coordination, cooperation friendship, gossip, knowledge, trust

Informal relations have always been with us, they have always mattered

What is new is the range of activities in which they now matter, and the emerging clarity we have about how they create advantage for certain people at the expense of others

This is done by brokerage and closure
