Social Capital in Multinational Corporations and a Micro-Macro Model of Its Formation
Abstract
Linking theories of social capital with theories of multinational corporations (MNCs), we discuss the need for and creation of social capital in foreign subunits of MNCs. We argue that the required levels and forms of social capital are determined by the nature of interdependence between headquarters and subunits, and thus vary by different models of MNCs. We then develop a micro-macro model of social capital formation, explaining how boundary spanners form their private social capital and how this social capital is transformed into public social capital of the subunit.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
