8. - John Worthington Concepts: Social Capital Social networks will have a direct and huge impact on the social capital of an organization 7 ©Oracle Corporation Social capital is that reservoir of trust, cooperation and 'unwritten rules' that people have between each other and is often the glue that keeps things from completely falling apart.

If the culture drives separation and warfare, I'm not sure these networks help and they may even hurt. Social networking tools must have improved the quality of information, increased the organization's social capital, and re-enforced positive cultural values.
