Social Capital’s Impact on Innovation

Innovation is the key to the development of high-tech enterprises. As an indispensable network resource, social capital has become a hot spot in enterprise innovation research. Most of the existing research focuses on the direct promotion of social capital to enterprise innovation. However, there are few in-depth studies on the negative effects of social capital. This book puts forward the variable of decision constraint, explores its intermediary role in the relationship between social capital and innovation, and provides a useful theoretical basis and reliable decision support for high-tech enterprises that try to improve their innovation performance by accumulating social capital.
