DESCRIPTION:Home\n \n \n\n \n Events\n \n \n\nWEBINAR: Social Capital and Digital Transformation in Healthcare\nFree Public Webinar on Zoom and YouTubeWednesday\, February 19\, 2025 @ 9:00 am – 10:30 am AEDT \n \nInvited Speaker\nDr Mohsin Malik\nAssociate ProfessorSwinburne University \n https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idWGxEOBdk0 \nKey Theme: The research investigates how social capital contributes to successful digital transformations in Australian healthcare organisations\, specifically focusing on the development of dynamic capabilities. \nKey takeaways: Most Important Ideas/Facts: \n\nSocial Capital as the Source of External Complementarities: The research posits that social capital\, defined as “the aggregate of resources embedded within\, available through\, and derived from the network of relationships possessed by an organisation”\, is crucial for accessing the non-generic and non-substitutable external complementarities necessary for digital transformation.\n“Social capital refers to this ability of a firm to source such non-generic complementarities from network relationships.”\nSuccessful digital transformations require organisations to look beyond their internal resources and leverage their social capital to access and integrate valuable external knowledge.\nCultivating strong network relationships and strategically engaging in collaborative ecosystems are critical for acquiring non-generic complementarities.\nFocusing on developing dynamic capabilities such as absorptive capacity\, integration effort\, and big data analytics is crucial for achieving positive digital transformation outcomes.\nThe findings offer a new perspective for practitioners in the healthcare sector\, highlighting the importance of a digital business ecosystem view and a shift from inward-looking approaches.\n\nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nAssociate Professor Dr. Mohsin Malik has over 23 years of diverse

Adrian Nat Gentry \nPhD candidate Purdue University \n https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uq2K5iVN-nE \nDespite social capital theory being a valuable theoretical framework in the field of higher education and having multiple well-established methods proposed by seminal researchers\, there is limited synthesis on how to assess students’ social capital in higher education. This lack of consensus perpetuates inconsistent findings and evidence for educational interventions. In this presentation\, Mx. Adrian Gentry will share their findings from a review of 93 higher education studies on social capital quantitative assessments. The aim of the study is to evaluate quantitative social capital assessments\, based on survey design and operationalized measures\, and recommend methods\, operationalized measures and assessment instruments for social capital. Results from the 93 articles revealed that generators (18 papers)\, social network analysis (5 papers)\, and standard Likert measures (80 papers) were commonly used to assess social capital. Standard Likert measures\, while most common\, were rarely aligned with social capital theory\, reducing the validity of the measures. Results also showed that operationalizations of social capital were heavily rooted in social network theory\, where social capital is accessed through social networks (86 papers) and actions from alters (65 papers) in the students’ network. However\, direct measures of social capital—that is\, network characteristics\, access to supports\, and seminal definitions of trust and community—were less common. \nThis study provides important consensus and recommendations for researchers to select assessment instruments appropriate for their study and rooted in principles of assessment validity. We recommend researchers select survey methods (e.g.\, social capital generators) and operationalizations (e.g.\, actions from alters) that are well aligned with social capital theory. Assessment instruments designed using strong theoretical frameworks\, such as Lin’s network theory of social capital\, add to the validity of the researchers’ instrument design\, use and interpretation of the students’ social capital scores. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nMx.

Critical Perspectives on Social Capital\nFree Public Webinar on Zoom and YouTubeWednesday\, February 5\, 2025 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm CET \nEditor: Routledge – Taylor & Francis Group (2025) \nBook presentation by the authors\n \nAtilano Pena-López\nProfessor of Economic Policy\nUniversity of A Coruña\nSpain \n \nMatías Membiela-Pollán \nAssociate Professor of Marketing and Market Research \nUniversidade da Coruña\nSpain \n https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eNiLQ0h96s \nStarting from the idea that economic relations are all social relations\, and every economic fact is first a social fact\, this book explores one of the crucial problems within economic science: how to incorporate the social dimension into the study of economic reality from a critical perspective. \nThis book opens with an examination of the concept of social capital\, incorporating all the approaches from the last 30 years of analysis. Furthermore\, it reviews the two main orientations of existing research programmes in social capital: the macro or culturalist perspective and the micro or individual social capital. Finally\, this book explores the link between social capital and the negative aspects of social reality\, such as corruption or inequality\, and\, through the study of so-called relational goods\, the influence of social capital on subjective well-being. The analysis of the concept of social capital not only involves economists but also requires a necessary bridge with sociology\, anthropology\, political science\, and even psychology. \nThis book will\, therefore\, be crucial reading for anyone engaged in the problem of the interrelation between economy and society. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenters:\nJosé Atilano Pena López (Celeiro-Lugo\, 1968) is Professor of Economic Policy at the University of A Coruña\, has a PhD in Economics\, and is Member of the OSIM (Social Organizations\, Institutions and Markets) research group.

Zuccala\nAssociate Professor Department of CommunicationUniversity of Copenhagen \n https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfbZ19smn3A \nIn academia\, social network theory and social network analysis are commonly employed to measure social capital. Social network analysis examines a defined set of actors\, such as co-authors of research articles\, and interprets the connections\, or “edges\,” between them. This approach; however\, is limited as it often overlooks crucial qualitative and behavioral dimensions. In this context\, social capital functions also as a catalyst or lubricant for cooperative work\, requiring a more nuanced understanding. To address this gap\, we conducted a study exploring researchers’ perceptions of social capital. Our hypothesis posited a potential misalignment between academics’ preferred practices for building social capital and their habitual behaviors. To test this\, we piloted a survey targeting a community of 1\,092 academics across six faculties—Health and Medical Sciences\, Science\, Social Sciences\, Humanities\, Law\, and Theology—at the University of Copenhagen. The survey focused on their goal-seeking behavior in publishing new research. First we asked the researchers to report their habits\, and then we surveyed their preferences. Collaboration preferences were analyzed through the lens of social capital theory\, assessing three interrelated dimensions: cognitive\, relational\, and structural. This presentation will share key findings from the pilot study and situate them within broader research on collaborative work in academia. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nDr. Zuccala began her academic journey in Psychology before transitioning to the field of Information Science.

The review highlights the complexity of this relationship\, revealing it to be both underexplored and difficult to define. Given the increasing recognition of social capital as a vital component in fostering connected and resilient communities\, understanding its role in urban design is crucial for advancing the industry’s approach to building more sustainable\, socially cohesive environments. I will also present early findings from my ongoing research on the perceived value of social capital within urban design\, and its potential implications for the future of the industry. While still in progress\, this research offers exciting possibilities for shaping the direction of urban design in the coming years. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nI am currently pursuing a Master of Philosophy and deeply engaged in research focused on the value of social capital within the practice of urban design. This interest stems from my industry experience\, as an urban designer\, where I have witnessed firsthand the critical role that community engagement plays in creating sustainable and resilient urban environments. My research aspires to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application\, ultimately contributing to the advancement of urban design practices that prioritize community well-being and sustainability. My professional background (10+ years) encompasses a range of roles in both the private and public sectors\, where I have been involved in urban design and place making for future growth areas. My work has included working with a team on community development initiatives\, urban revitalization projects\, and the creation of place-led economic frameworks aimed at fostering vibrant\, sustainable communities. This practical experience has not only honed my skills in urban design but also fuelled my passion for understanding how research can drive industry progress towards more sustainable solutions. By integrating insights from my research into practical urban design strategies\, I aim to contribute to the development of more inclusive\, socially cohesive\, and sustainable urban environments. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.

Collaborative approaches in which social capital resource (e.g. knowledge\, resource and support) is exchanged with colleagues can serve as an effective way of facilitating such learning. Analyses of the benefits of social capital networks have primarily focused on intra-school communities of teachers from individual schools. However\, inter-school networks are potentially richer sources of social capital\, since they offer access to resources beyond that already available. With this presentation we draw on the findings of a systematic review\, we seek to outline: 1) what inter-school networks are available internationally; 2) the features and activities present within them; and 3) evidence of impact. Our findings derive from 111 research outputs and highlight: the diverse range of different inter-school networks that exist\, their myriad purposes and how these networks are enacted. Simultaneously\, however\, our review only identifies limited reliable evidence of the impact of inter-school social capital networks. We conclude by identifying what research is needed in future to improve our understanding of inter-school social capital networks. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenters:\nRuth Luzmore: is a Research Fellow in the School of Education at the University of Southampton.

Adopting a whole network perspective\, we conducted a case study of one mandated hospital network in Ireland. Our findings show that the espoused NAO (Network Administrative Organization) governance model was unable to respond to the accountability and governance challenges that arose. We identify how pre-existing bonding social capital between the “centralised network broker” (the Network Administrative Organisation) and the hub hospital limited the potential for social capital to expand from a private to a public good that could benefit the network as a whole. We draw attention to the importance of monitoring social capital development during network governance implementation and to how opposing poles of network tensions are managed. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nMara has a strong research background and almost a decade of industry experience as Senior Economist in a public teaching hospital\, Business Manager and Main Inspector at the National Agency for Fiscal Administration.

Berlan\, and Byung Hee Min. \nThe creation of community social capital unifies nonprofits’ expressive and instrumental goals as nonprofit sustainability is determined by community-based market economies. Knutsen and Brower (2010) articulate the nonprofit dual accountabilities featured as resource-seeking (instrumental) and value-seeking (expressive) activities. Much research underscores social entrepreneurial models of nonprofit management as catalysts for ensuring ongoing engagement with both the community and the market. How a nonprofit facilitates social capital depends on the learning and innovation processes to advance their adaptive mobilization of resources\, staff\, stakeholders\, and competencies for addressing the social cause and needs through service provision. \nSome studies note that new entrepreneurial priorities concerning marketization can jeopardize less profitable activities (Eikenberry & Kluver\, 2004; Seo\, 2020). It is important to clarify how innovations become focused on enlarging a particular community-building domain. Mission fulfillment as the expressive orientation may hold up the interdependence between the social value potential and the market potential of nonprofits (Beaton\, 2021; Dart\, 2004). The nonprofit mission sets the organization’s end goal to serve the social cause and is realized through community engagement oriented to the mission (Kirk & Nolan\, 2010). The shared mission thus inspires mission-driven efforts in management\, which in turn mobilizes innovative capacity for community engagement. Taken together\, we ask: Does shared mission in a nonprofit guide its learning and innovation impacts to be instrumental to their role in promoting community social capital? \nThis study proposes a conceptual framing in which nonprofits animating their learning and innovation practices instilled with a shared mission orientation would well perform the role in facilitating community social capital. By employing a structural equation modeling analysis\, we tested a first-stage moderated mediation model. The findings provide empirical support for the hypothesized framework. We discuss how nonprofits successfully engage in community building. \nAbout the presenter:\nSungdae Lim is an Assistant Professor of Public Administration in the Department of Political Science at Sam Houston State University.

By leveraging social relationships\, businesses can unlock new opportunities\, drive innovation\, and pave the way for future profitability. Therefore\, it is important to measure and disclose SC in financial reports. \nIn this webinar\, Dr Chnar Rashid will explore the significance of measuring and disclosing social capital within financial reports. Although there is no financial indicator to measure SC\, it can be measured through a questionnaire at the individual level (Wu\, 2021). Thus\, this presentation illustrates the way in which SC can be measured through a financial indicator. \nThe webinar will showcase innovative approaches to integrating social capital metrics into financial reporting frameworks\, offering practical insights into how SC can be quantified and represented in financial statements. By bridging the gap between social relationships and financial performance\, organizations can enhance transparency\, stakeholder trust\, and long-term value creation. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the evolving landscape of social capital measurement and its implications for financial reporting.

The results are drawn from qualitative studies conducted in two French medium-sized shrinking cities. The findings show that similarly to the institutional and collective forms of social capital analyzed in previous literature\, informal social capital is also impacted by the changes affecting urban place in the context of shrinkage\, and particularly weakened for elderly residents – especially women – and young professionals. At the same time\, it constitutes an efficient resource\, that helps residents facing shrinkage-related problems individually rather than addressing shrinkage itself collectively. Finally\, the findings highlight the role of specific social actors such as community centres who\, by providing institutionalized sources of social capital\, foster the creation of informal social capital and allow us to address its unequal distribution and weakening. This emphasizes the need to reconsider current social capital-based planning strategies\, from relying mainly on collective initiatives addressing shrinkage\, to supporting institutional social actors in the creation of small scale\, individual level social ties and interactions. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nI am an urban scholar who combines ethnographic methods and critical theoretical approaches from geography and sociology to explore the everyday politics of urban change. \nI study how urban actors’ everyday experience and negotiation of urban change contributes to reproduce\, transform\, and sometimes challenge unequal sociospatial orders.

What if we knew? Imagine we could pinpoint exactly who caused other people to do things\, and how much–whether that was shopping\, going to the doctor\, voting\, consuming media\, or any other action. What if we also knew how much this happened in general\, and how it varied from context to context? \nIn this talk\, I’ll explain a new method for measuring the effects of interactions over time\, which we call “Social Value.” Most of the solutions for this age-old challenge have been based on social media\, where we infer influence from follower counts or reposts\, but which aren’t tied to outcomes. They haven’t been falsifiable. Social Value solves for this\, and gets us beyond guesswork. Although we are in the early days of the research\, it’s also opening up theorizing and practice around why and how people lead and follow. In this talk\, I’ll discuss the general concept of Social Value\, how we’ve tested and validated it\, and what we’ve found\, including connections to personality\, race and social capital. I’ll also cover the method’s potential for network research and use in social science more broadly. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nDmitri Williams (PhD\, Michigan 2004) is a professor at USC Annenberg\, where he teaches courses on technology and society\, games and data analytics.

In doing so\, the Arbitration Committee does not simply decide or arbitrate disputes but seeks to attenuate their impact on Wikipedia’s social fabric. This data allows us to revisit sociological debates on the role of social capital\, by revealing the ways in which well-connected individuals employ it strategically in order to obfuscate their noncompliance with norms\, thus leading to what I call “dispute cancellation.” \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nFlorian Grisel is Research Fellow at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (SAGE\, Strasbourg) and Senior Research Associate at the University of Oxford (Centre for Socio-Legal Studies).

However\, a number of these perspectives are difficult to either be understood or operationalized by industry. Their conceptualization of Social Capital is not aligned with the way many firms\, especially technical ones understand the resources they have. For example\, Bordieu’s focus is on the accrued value obtained via relationships and have received more interest from scholars. Upon presentation to industry audiences however\, the speaker found a lot of resistance especially when the measures are difficult to map to their framework.  \nIt was Putnam who observed Social Capital is not a unidimensional concept\, and Nahapiet and Ghoshal (1997\, 1998) who integrated these different facets. They do so by focusing on the network of relationships and trust among people who live and work together\, a critical asset for industries. It’s the glue that holds organizations together\, fostering collaboration\, innovation\, and efficiency. In the workplace\, social capital leads to more effective team synergy\, as employees who feel connected are more likely to be engaged and productive. Companies can leverage social capital by encouraging networking\, mentoring\, and team-building activities that strengthen interpersonal connections. This investment in social relationships can result in a more cohesive\, resilient\, and agile organization\, capable of navigating challenges and capitalizing on opportunities including innovation. It is this perspective that many industries found much more aligned with their social understanding of their organizations\, especially when mapped to outputs of ESG. Rahmat will present these observations via three client case studies. \nAbout the presenter:\nRahmat Shazi is currently the Technology Director of ShazInnovation Solution as well as member of the Board of COMBAT Advance Meditech.

DESCRIPTION:Invited Speaker\nProfessor Lindon Robison\nEmeritus Professor of Agricultural and Resource EconomicsMichigan State University \n https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3XbGzlAC6c \nThis webinar will explore a unique and innovative line of inquiry to understanding social capital. Social capital theory has typically been used to study binary relationships. This webinar will move beyond traditional binary relationships to examine triads of binary connections. By studying triads\, important social structures emerge\, revealing insights that are not evident when only considering binary relationships. \nSocial capital is defined as emotions such as empathy\, sympathy\, compassion\, regard\, and trust that enable individuals to internalize the well-being of others who are the objects of their social capital. Conversely\, negative social capital was defined as emotions such as antipathy\, competition\, fear\, disdain\, and distrust toward others who are the objects of negative social capital. These emotions enable individuals to act in ways that disadvantage others\, even when doing so may also disadvantage themselves. In between social capital and negative social capital is an arm’s length relationship where selfish persons exchange commodities when it is to their advantage to do so. \nBuilding on this foundation\, the webinar will discuss the importance of considering the change in meaning and value of things when they are embedded with relational goods or bads. By examining networks that include triads of binary connections\, researchers can gain insights into various social structures\, including those found in societies\, schools\, workplaces\, teams\, businesses\, and countries. \nThe webinar provides a thought-provoking exploration of social capital theory\, offering new insights into the ways in which social relationships shape human behavior and societal structures. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nDr. Lindon J.

Craig\nPostdoctoral Fellow\nDepartment of Economics\nNew York University \n https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JScFZpRLYPA \nResearchers have shown that social capital facilitates communication between disparate parties. This improvement in the use of society’s knowledge is one form of “social learning”. I argue that social learning also takes place through social capital via indirect\, emergent means. I propose four categories of social learning defined by two divides: (1) knowledge that is already known and simply transmitted to a new party vs. knowledge that is previously unknown and now discovered by an agent\, (2) whether the process takes place emergently and implicitly vs. taking place intentionally and explicitly. I will illustrate the emergent\, social capital-mediated social learning processes that take place during disaster recovery. Qualitative evidence from members of religious communities recovering from Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy shows that social capital can mediate emergent social learning\, enabling both discovery and transfer of knowledge about resource uses\, including social capital. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nAlexander W. Craig is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Economics at New York University through the Program on the Foundations of the Market Economy. He earned a BS in chemical biosciences and economics from the University of Oklahoma and a PhD in economics from George Mason University. He is interested in how community ties and culture influence economic development\, often using the disaster recovery context to reveal how social life and economic life shape one another in the development process. He is also interested in how this approach can inform discussions in political philosophy and ethics. \nAbout Our Webinar Series\nThis event is part of our regular webinar sessions for social capital researchers including PhD/master students.

We exploit the dismissal of city councils infiltrated by organized crime and a novel and fine-grained measure of social capital in Italy. Using a difference-indifferences strategy\, we show that municipalities’ dissolution is associated with a significant and sizable increase in social capital. We document the mechanisms through which the presence of organized crime affects social capital\, including trust diversion\, changes in civic engagement\, and its impact on local institutions and governance. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenter:\nFull Professor in Economics at the Department of Economics at the University of Bergamo since March 2016.

Theories of social capital often highlight elements of trust\, reciprocity\, and a sense of belonging. It is widely assumed that students who are first-in-family (FIF) enter university with a lack of social capital and\, for the most part\, struggle to access and accumulate it at university. However\, social capital has an important role to play as it can be integral to how FIF students access information\, opportunities\, and support which are all crucial for their success in higher education. Therefore\, it is important we investigate how FIF students experience and rely on social capital as it can play a pivotal role in shaping their success at university and their prospects in future employment. \nDrawing on theories of social capital (Coleman\, Lin\, Bourdieu\, etc)\, this presentation captures how FIF students in Australia acquire social capital over the course of three years. Presenting empirical data\, we explore the fine-grained distinctions between how the participants accessed and operationalized social capital during their time in higher education. Operationalizing social capital involves skilfully utilizing various relationships to achieve one’s goals which can often be in constrast to more working-class communal values. As a provocation\, we explore how the accrual of social capital is closely related to what we refer to as self-crafting (Stahl & McDonald\, 2022). How FIF young people craft their sense of self in relation to experiences social capital has remained largely unexplored and undertheorized. In examining self-crafting\, we consider how the participants developed strategies to operationalize social capital in order to leverage their relationships and networks to their advantage and enhance their success in higher education. \nTime converter at worldtimebuddy.com \nAbout the presenters:\nGarth Stahl is an Associate Professor in the School of Education at the University of Queensland.  He is a co-founder of the Bourdieu in Educational Research SIG for the American Educational Research Association and has published widely in sociology of education drawing on a Bourdieusian approach.  Previously he co-edited a book with Bloomsbury entitled International Perspectives on Theorizing Aspiration: Applying Bourdieu’s Tools. \nSarah McDonald is a Lecturer at the Centre for Research in Education & Social Inclusion in Education Futures at the University of South Australia.
