Abstract

This chapter underlines the significance of social capital for business and the contribution that corporate social responsibility (CSR) can make to investment in social capital. We follow Adler and Kwon (2002, p. 17), who state that social capital can be ‘understood roughly as the goodwill that is engendered by the fabric of social relations and that can be mobilized to facilitate action’. It generates mutual confidence and stimulates actions that would not otherwise be possible, as noted in Putnam’s (1993, p. 167) definition of social capital as a set of ‘features of social organization, such as trust, norms and networks that can improve the efficiency of society by facilitating coordinated actions’.
