Research Abstract |
Many management researchers regard social networks in and between organizations, which promote learning in strategic alliances, as the network capital or the social capital for intra-and inter organizational networks in alliances. This research attempts that we develop the analysis methods for organizational networks and clarify what process and structural property facilitate learning. We try to examine typical social capital effects, reform analytical methods and investigate social capital effects on typical organizational and interorganizational networks in alliances in following six points. First, examining e-mail communication network configuration and content, we assure that the special combinations of contents and configurations let employees highly perform. Second, our investigation of social networks of R & D managers shows that their wide networks let them perform well. Third, discussing with Howard E. Aldrich, we make clear that well developed networks of entrepreneurs facilitate communities of practices in industrial clusters, as they help distribution of knowledge and information in them. Fourth, our investigation of movie-maker networks in the Japanese movie industry shows that ones with strong ties let them better than others with bridges, contrasting to the US cases. Fifth, NPOs and social enterprises makes Japanese fundamental basis of societies as the social capital and their quality does really matters. Sixth, our network analysis of supplier relations in Japanese automobile industries shows recent structural changes in them advanced but differs from Keiretsu to Keiretsu. We show brief results of these studies in the special issue, "Organizational science and social capital" of the Organizational Science, vol.40 no.3 in 2007.
