PurposeThe purpose of this article is to explore the association of the Relational Capital (RC) embedded in a medical specialist’s social–professional network with the specialist’s economic performance based on social network analysis (SNA).Design/methodology/approachUsing health insurance claims data regarding ∼108,000 physicians treating ∼72,000,000 patients, social–professional networks (patient-sharing-networks (PSNs)) of ∼26,000 medical specialists were simulated. To explore the correlation of the network's characteristics (degree centrality, density, relative betweenness centrality and referrer concentration) with economic performance, ordinary-least-squares (OLS)-regression models were estimated for ten common specialties (gynecology, internal medicine, orthopedics, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, dermatology, urology, neurology, radiology and rehabilitative medicine).FindingsThe study confirms the applicability and strong explanatory power of SNA metrics for RC measurement in ambulatory healthcare. Degree centrality and relative betweenness centrality correlate positively with economic performance, whereas density and referrer concentration exhibit negative coefficients. These results confirm the argument that RC has a strong association with the economic performance of medical specialists.Originality/valueThe study pioneers SNA for RC measurement in healthcare. It is among the first publications on specialists' PSNs. Questions for future research are proposed.

“…A strong, long-term cooperation can be seen as a foundation for establishing a beneficial relationship (Ocicka and Wieteska, 2019). Cooperation between supplier and buyer has also been impacted by digitalization, however the direction of impact (positive or negative) is determined by different contexts.…”

This study analyses the impact of digitalization on the Buyer Supplier relationship (BSR) in the context of Industry 4.0. An empirical qualitative research methodology was employed, with semi-structured interviews conducted with 23 procurement specialists from service sector organizations in India to obtain empirical data. A qualitative content analysis was then conducted to arrive at common patterns and ideas. The study found that procurement specialists perceive that digitalization has an overall positive impact on buyer supplier relationship. However, it is important to exercise diligence during the implementation of any digital tools to restrict dissatisfaction, and human touch is essential in certain areas like negotiation and conflict management. Additionally, data analysis can provide strategic advantages, but the quality of input data must be considered. The study highlights the positive and negative impacts of digitalization on BSR and provides implications for research and corporate practice. It is recommended that future studies should qualify the results by analyzing the BSR in relation to supplier type, as well as by considering other digital technologies such as Machine learning and Artificial intelligence.

“…Relational capital is also composed of all the resources linked to the firm's external relationships with customers, suppliers, and other partners (Mousavi & Takhtaei, 2012). The literature review conducted by Ocicka and Wieteska (2019) identified five components that are recurrently noted as relational capital attributes in supply networks: trust, close interaction, respect, reciprocity, and commitment.…”

Explanatory settings of the development of resilience in public administration supply networks

Social capital is an important theoretical lens for explaining interorganizational relationships and building resilience in supply networks. This study corroborates this perspective, aiming to identify which attributes of social capital contribute to explaining the development of resilience in public administration supply networks and how they combine in this explanation. A qualitative and descriptive research was carried out, using interviews with the repertoire grid technique for data collection. Data were analyzed using Honey’s content analysis and coincidence analysis (CNA). The research results indicate that social capital proved to be fundamental to developing resilience in supply networks in public administration, through the attributes of sharing technical information, precision in communication, anticipation in communicating relevant information, reciprocity, trust, transparency, and commitment. The originality of the study lies in the use of social capital theory in studies on resilience in public administration and in the adoption of a robust data collection and analysis method that has not yet been explored in research in Brazilian public administration. The main contributions of the study were: (1) to highlight social capital as a multilevel construct that influences the development of resilience, (2) to expand studies on resilience in public administration, (3) to provide information that public managers can use to avoid or minimize the risks that jeopardize the provision of public services, and (4) to adopt an unprecedented research method in the Brazilian public administration.
