Knowledge, Social Capital, and Grassroots Development: Insights from Rural Bangladesh
研究了2006至2012年孟加拉国农村一个创业发展项目中，社会资本如何促进知识的创造与交换，并将社会资本细分为三种功能类型，揭示了不同路径对知识贡献的作用。
This article examines the relationship between social capital and the creation and exchange of knowledge for grassroots development. It applies a framework that originated in developed countries to the experimental phase of a successful entrepreneurial development programme, undertaken between 2006 and 2012 in rural Bangladesh. Although generally applicable, the framework’s structural dimensions are further developed and divided into three functional subtypes of social capital (bonding, bridging and linking) following distinct pathways in their contribution to the creation and exchange of knowledge, demonstrating domains where programme participants co-created know-how. In conclusion, a framework representing the links between social capital and knowledge is presented.
