Strategic alliances as social capital: A multidimensional view
Defining social capital in terms of the information benefits available to a firm due to its strategic alliances, a theory of social capital is presented that conceptualizes it as a multidimensional construct. It is argued that social capital yields 3 distinctly different kinds of information benefits in the form of information volume, information diversity and information richness. This extends current theoretical and empirical research by specifying and empirically demonstrating 3 interrelated yet distinct dimensions of social capital. Firms vary in their levels of social capital not just on their structural position in an alliance network but also in the dynamics that underlie alliance formation and maintenance. The different dimensions of social capital theoretically provide differential benefits. This research establishes the construct validity of the 3-dimensional conceptualization of social capital using longitudinal data on the population of strategic alliances formed during the period 1980-1994 by firms in the global steel industry.Printed Journal
