CSC: An Agenda for the Future

Abstract

Corporate social capital refers to the set of resources, tangible or virtual, that accrue to a corporate player through the player's social relationships, facilitating the attainment of goals. In the opening chapter to this volume, we suggested that social structure and social capital are related, but distinct, entities. Both reside at various levels of analysis---in particular, at the levels of the individual and the firm---and interact with each other at these various levels of analysis.
