Abstract: | This paper utilizes the concept of social capital (hereafter as: soc-cap.) to outline a distinctive approach to understanding the interplay btw. management control systems (herein as: m-c-s.) and the development of social connections in and btw. organizations. Using a case study of a non-government organization, it is shown how soc-cap. is implicated in efforts to attract economic capital and cultural capital. It is shown how elements of a m-c-s. can either enhance or inhibit the bonding and bridging dimensions of soc-cap. with possible consequences on both economic and cultural capital. The mixed and sometimes contradictory effects of m-c-s. on soc-cap. are underlined. An illustration of the role of m-c-s. in brokering alliances and bridging structural holes is provided. |
