Social Capital

Influence and connections are social capital. A person or entity who has ‘good social capital’ can ask favors, influence decisions, and communicate efficiently. Social capital is of primary importance in politics, business, and community organizing.

In social capital, a person can ‘owe’ favors or decision-making influence to another person or entity.

According to Indeed, social capital falls into two categories:

• Bonding social capital: Connections made within a particular group.
• Bridging social capital: Connects people between diverse groups.

Examples:

• Favors
• Decision-making influence
• Gratitude
• Information
• Resources
• Innovation
