摘要：Starting from the theoretical concept of “embeddedness” of economic relations in the social structure, this paper focuses on the attempt to examine the effects of different forms of social relations between firms on their business performance. As a framework for studying these effects, the concept of social networks and social capital is used, with an attempt to show the specific organizational forms of social capital as well as the direct consequences of their application in terms of business performance of small and medium enterprises. Also, it is pointed out to the possible role of the state in creating cooperative relations between firms, especially in the field of innovation, by encouraging and stimulating collaboration and networking.
