Social capital and business performance: ethnic enterprises in Canada

Abstract: The objective of this research was to identify links between social capital and the performance of ethnic businesses.

“…In the study of Cheng-Nam (2007), SC predicts firm outcomes with regard to the profit or loss derived from investments (ROI). Other studies, like Džunić (2010), Fornoni et al (2012) and Perreault et al (2007), perceive the favourable gains from SC on some aspects of performance of small businesses. Irrespective of the numerous benefits associated with mobilising social ties, studies at the firm level and its effect on small business outcomes have not increased as would have been desired (Franco, Haase and Pereira, 2016).…”

“…According to Perreault et al (2007), one of the most profound remedies to the funding problems of SMEs is the use of social capital (SC) to acquire the needed or extra finance (funding), markets and information. This is because among SMEs, SC is easier to access relative to other forms of capital (Hierppe, 2003;Roxas, 2008).…”

“…Számos nemzetközi kutatás bizonyítja, hogy a társadalmi (és ezen belül a kapcsolati) tőke a vállalkozások egyik alapvető erőforrása (Kovály, Čermáková 2016;Light, Dana 2013;Light, Gold, 2000;Perreault et al 2007), melynek kihasználásával az egyes vállalati szereplők gazdasági előnyökre tehetnek szert, leginkább az úgynevezett tranzakciós költségek 1 csökkentésével, a gyorsabb információáramlással és ügyintézéssel. Mindennek azonban negatív hozadéka is lehet.…”

“…A társadalmi tőke meghatározására szerteágazó definíciók léteznek, viszont mindegyik meghatározás központi elemeként a kapcsolati hálók jelennek meg, és kiemelik a bizalom fontosságát (Perreault et al 2007), valamint azt, hogy a társadalmi tőke megléte -a társadalmi hálózatokban vagy egyéb társadalmi struktúrákban való tagság révén -elérhető előnyöket, hasznokat jelent (Portes, Sensenbrenner 1998). Vitatott, hogy a társadalmi csoportokon belül e kapcsolati hálók teremtik-e meg a bizalom alapját, vagy éppen fordítva, az utóbbi megléte vezet-e a kapcsolathálók kialakulásához.…”

“…Some theorists (Coleman, 1988;Loury, 1977Loury, , 1981Putnam, 1995Putnam, , 2000 expanded the notion of social capital beyond the individual to the broader community to recognize networks as a collective resource. The literature on immigrant and ethnic entrepreneurship recognizes the significance of social networks to the success of individual immigrant entrepreneurs and the communities they join (Aldrich & Waldinger, 1990;Kloosterman, van der Leun & Rath, 1999;Perreault et al, 2003). Networked social capital has both positive and negative dimensions.…”
