Social capital refers to the resources derived from social relationships. Although the concept of social capital has been applied at the individual, group, and organizational levels of analysis, researchers have yet to fully embrace social capital’s potential as a multilevel lens through which we might better understand management and organizational phenomena. With a central objective of advancing social capital’s potential as a multilevel theoretical perspective, the authors make two contributions to the management literature. First, the authors comprehen-sively review two decades of management research to highlight how social capital has been empirically applied across levels of analysis. Second, based on the shortcomings and challenges revealed through the literature review, the authors identify and discuss avenues for future mul-tilevel research, including suggestions for both macro and micro researchers.

abstract Despite the recognition that network brokerage is beneficial for entrepreneurial ventures, little is known about its antecedents. This study examines how participation in industry events (e.g. conferences) relates to entrepreneurs ’ brokerage positions in informal industry networks and how these positions, in turn, impact new venture performance. Using a unique dataset of 45 events and subsequent network relations among entrepreneurs from 90 firms in the open source software industry, results indicate that: (1) entrepreneurs who participated in heterogeneous events or who bridged between events with few common participants were more likely to be brokers; (2) the relationship between event bridging and brokerage was stronger for entrepreneurs with broader prior career experiences; and (3) network brokerage mediated the event participation–performance link. It appears that events may limit structural opportunities for brokerage and that individual differences matter for exploiting these opportunities. Overall, this study increases understanding of how and when particular networking behaviours are beneficial for entrepreneurs.
CEO Social Capital and Entrepreneurial Orientation of the Firm: Bonding and Bridging Effects

Prior studies demonstrate the role of various facets of CEOs ’ individual characteristics in shap-ing a firm’s entrepreneurial orientation (EO). We complement this line of research by theorizing and testing the impact of CEOs ’ social capital on EO. From an original, multisource survey data set of 122 Chinese technology firms, we find that a CEO’s bonding social capital with organiza-tional members from various functional units has an inverted U-shaped relationship with firm EO, while the CEO’s bridging social capital with the firm’s diverse set of external stakeholders has a positive association with EO. In addition, we find that the relationship between CEO bridg-ing social capital and EO becomes stronger as the firm’s environmental instability increases.
Power and Politics: Do CIOs Have What It Takes to Influence the Executive Team's Commitment to IT Initiatives?

Despite the central role of information technology (IT) in contemporary firms, many Chief Information Officers (CIOs) still lack the influence over their executive teams that is enjoyed by other executives that report to the CEO. In this study, we propose power and political skill are related to the CIO's influence over the executive team's commitment to strategic and technical IT initiatives. We use Multivariate GLM to empirically examine these relationships using data collected from 127 CIOs. The results suggest the CIO's formal position in the firm, the CIO's business and technical knowledge, and the important connections the CIO has established relate to the CIO's influence over the executive team's commitment to IT

Abstract Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to examine empirically the interaction between entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and market orientation and its effect on performance in both high and low technology industries. Design/methodology/approach -The paper proposes that being entrepreneurial and market-driven stem from two distinct organizational capabilities that interact to influence subsequent firm performance. Findings -Data from 457 manufacturing firms show that the interaction effect is significant only in high technology industries. Research limitations/implications -The results encourage future research on the nexus of opportunity recognition and entrepreneurial behavior in established firms embedded in organizational routines. Originality/value -The paper shows that managers in high technology industries would benefit from developing capabilities and implementing systems that augment their firms' market orientation. Market orientation provides an important means to harness the firm's EO, an important means of achieving growth and profitability.
