Boundaries of Social Capital in Entrepreneurship
研究批评了社会资本理论,聚焦阿拉斯加Old Harbor,发现当地阿鲁提克人虽拥有丰富社会资本并用于经济目的,却未用于商业创业,表明社会资本仅在配套文化资本支持下才能促进创业。
Our research begins with a theoretical critique of the social capital literature, and then focuses on Old Harbor, Alaska. In this remote outpost, mainly populated by Alutiiq people, all entrepreneurs self–identified as Euro–Americans or multi–ethnic, not Alutiiq. Although Alutiiq people have abundant social capital, which they employed for economic purposes, they did not employ their social capital for commercial entrepreneurship. Our findings suggest that social capital promotes entrepreneurship only when supportive cultural capital is in place.
