The COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant drop in the tourism sector. Precarious existence of the tourism agencies can be based on the development of the corporate business network managed by the formation of the key network resource – social capital. This research is aimed at the development and testing of the original toolset for the assessment of social capital and creation of the universal model of corporate networking management based on it. The subject of this article is the social capital of a company. The object is the operating tourism agency of Sverdlovsk Region “Mellow Season” LLC. The information framework is comprised of the corporate financial data for the period from 2014 to 2020. The expediency of implementation of cost approach on the level of individual companies is determined. The algorithm of corporate networking management based on the analysis of sustainable business ties portfolio is offered and tested. The author establishes that the company practices one-time and repeated transactions mainly with non-specific assets; specific assets are used only in transactions with the customers. Typical precontractual costs are the costs for searching information, negotiating, and concluding the contract. Typical postcontractual costs are the costs for monitoring and enforcing the counteragents to discharge their obligations. The author analyzes the information on the components of the social capital. Sustainable business tie was identified with 12 suppliers, 28 tourism agencies, and 158 customers. The analysis of behavioral practices of tourism agencies and expert assessments establishes the efficiency standards of transaction costs. It is also determined that the cost savings from the use of social capital for the company under reviews amount to 46.8% of their volume without its use. The recommendation is made to maintain the existing network of sustainable business ties; use the accumulated trust in sustainable business ties with the customers to expand the client base; shift priorities from the transactions made due to the established mechanism of business procedures towards seeking for new opportunities on the market. The author develops the universal model of corporate networking management.

The purpose of the publication is to formulate theoretic and methodological provisions on the prospects for the development of social capital of localized post-industrial scientific and educational-production clusters that embody the idea of dynamic formation of innovatively oriented ecosystems of the national economy. The research is devoted to the prospects of forming the social capital of the national economy (SKNE) as a productive value of interpersonal and intergroup network connections implemented in the production of thoughtful and coordinated results of social activities. Particular attention is paid to the distinction of key features of SKNE, unlike other forms of capital assets in the production of goods and services. The comparative matrix of identification of differences inherent in different forms of capital, according to the criteria of features of formation and implementation, natural essence, degree of distribution, ability to alienate, features of investment, inflation discounting in the process of consumption, level of participation in the formation of “chains” of value of goods and services, ability to liquidity and conversion, features of valuation methods are given. The characteristic factors of transformation of structural, relational and cognitive elements of SKNE in terms of circumstances and requirements of formation of post-industrial, post-information, network, humanomic, behavioral economy of saving and collective use of public goods are investigated. Fully the requirements of the innoving mechanism of regulation of SKNE meets the incorporation to the tools for the implementation of goals and objectives of its development of means of forecasting the future state, structure, prospects for increasing the cost of elements. This provides an opportunity to increase SKNE on the basis of Foresight procedures for analyzing the impact of these factors, formulating and modernizing the mission of forecasting inclusive social capital, a comprehensive specification of the regulatory sector, taking into account macroeconomic development scenarios. The prospects for further research are seen in the implementation of imitation verbal models of social capital adapted to the needs of the different level of national economy: microeconomic – “Individual and egocentric network”, mesoeconomic – “Sociocentric Network”, macroeconomic – “Civil Society”.

PurposeThis study proposes personal network of social entrepreneurs as a key antecedent factor of their resource bricolage to understand the mechanisms underlying social entrepreneurial practices before the founding of social enterprises.Design/methodology/approachAn empirical study is used to collect and analyze data. The questionnaire data are drawn from in-depth semistructured interviews with Chinese social entrepreneurs. This study develops a theoretical framework that draws upon two dimensions of social capital, namely, “ownership” and “use,” to explore relationships among personal network, resource bricolage and relation strength.FindingsWith data from 227 social enterprises in China, empirical results suggest that personal network of social entrepreneurs, that is, the “owned” social capital, shall be transformed by the intermediate role of resource bricolage into relation strength, that is, the “used” social capital. The relationship between resource bricolage and relation strength is positively moderated by the marketization degree and social class of social entrepreneurs.Research limitations/implicationsThis study introduces resource bricolage into the front-end course of social entrepreneurship. The results show that similar personal network can lead to different behavioral outcomes in the context of social entrepreneurship. Then the integration of resources and opportunities at the beginning of the social entrepreneurial process opens new avenues for future research. However, this study only investigates the transformation from network to resources implemented by social entrepreneurs before organization establishment. It does not explore potential outcomes of such a transformation for the development of social enterprises.Practical implicationsSocial entrepreneurs at the prefounding stage shall make use of the values of available resources, fully use potential interpersonal relations in the personal network, and transform these relations into a close, steady relationship to realize potential values of available resources. Social entrepreneurs can start from excavation and foundation laying of strong relation networks, to avoid problems in legality, social awareness and failure risks generated from blind integration of external resources.Originality/valueThis study finds that social entrepreneurship exists between the motivation of the social entrepreneur and the establishment of the organization after the development over time. Creating first a phased result through the resource bricolage is necessary. This result establishes a complete process chain of social entrepreneurship from motivation to behavior, next to organization establishment and subsequent development. This study is an empirical test based on the theoretical interpretation to make a positive effect on the social entrepreneurship research in the theoretical construction and testing of the deficiencies.

Abstract Background Current guidelines only recommend screening for gonorrhea (GC) and chlamydia (CT) at extragenital sites of exposure in men who have sex with men (MSM). With Medicaid reimbursement for GC/CT nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) at approximately $48/test, expanding testing to women requires a value assessment. We report the prevalence of extragenital GC/CT in women with extragenital exposure, determine the proportion of disease missed by urogenital NAAT, and estimate additional cost per infection identified by extragenital testing in women vs MSM. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of women undergoing extragenital NAAT for GC and CT at Denver Metro Health Clinic. Data were analyzed for all women with extragenital testing from 9/11/2015 to 7/8/2016, and for MSM from 9/3/2013 to 7/8/2016. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences and Excel programs were used for data analysis. Results In a total 804 female visits, the mean age was 29 (13–67years); 46% were White non-Hispanic; 37% were Hispanic; and 15% were Black. In women, the prevalence of extragenital GC and CT was 2% (16/804) and 5% (38/804), respectively. The rate of GC infection in women was the same at genital and pharyngeal sites (2%, 16/804) but lower at the rectum (0.25%, 2/804). Female chlamydia rates were 11% genital (85/804), 4% pharyngeal (30/804), and 1.4% rectal (11/804). If only urogenital testing had been performed in women, 27% (6/22) of GC infections and 14% (14/99) of CT infections would have been missed. Overall, isolated extragenital infection accounted for 18% (20/111, 95% CI 12–26%) and 65% (943/1453, 95% CI 62–67%) of the combined GC and CT burden in women and MSM, respectively. On average, 40 women and five MSM were screened with extragenital tests to identify one isolated extragenital infection. Estimated additional Medicaid costs for isolated extragenital infection identified in women was $3,851 and in men was $480 for pharyngeal and rectal testing. Conclusion Urogenital screening misses a significant number of extragenital infections in women. However, given the high cost of extragenital screening in women, further work is needed to determine whether screening can be limited to the pharynx or if risk factors can be used to target screening for cost savings.

Starting from sociological perspectives on complexity, we show how the social capital of boards and owners networks affects the implied cost of capital of companies listed on Brazilian stock exchange. We specifically show arguments and evidence that the effect of the relational resources found in the direct, indirect, and heterogeneous board’s ties reduces the cost of capital while relational resources embedded in shareholder networks increase the cost of capital. Our results show that while the increase in the relational resources of the board reduces the implied cost of capital, an increase in these shared resources in the ownership relationships of the firm increases the cost of financial capital.

The article considers theoretical and practical aspects of investments’ implementation at enterprises inclusive of the account the socio-economic effects arising from this. It is proved that side by side with the positive results investments can make negative impact on the surrounding community, which will require additional costs on reduction and neutralization. Thus, the need arises while calculating the cost indices of the company also take into account the indicators of "social value". The aim of the work is to analyze the world experience of forming investment strategies for business development based on the application of a cost approach with the principles of socially responsible investment. The research used methods of scientific abstraction, comparative and systematic analysis and synthesis, systematization and logical generalization. Provision of the combination of the interests of investors and society is possible by the use of the concept of "values-based investing" (VBI). It is the investment, which is based on the cost approach and consists in the selection of investments that provide the greatest increase in total cost, that is, not only to create value for the enterprise, but also to make the social value in the form of positive environmental, social and economic effects. Thus, it is a socially-responsible investment, the orientation of which is becoming more widespread in the world. The paper provides classification of areas of socially responsible investment, which includes investment by criteria of the social, ecological areas, the corporate management, the integrating multiple criteria for choosing investments. It is characterized the main types of strategies that can be implemented by enterprise within the limits of value-oriented investing and analyzed the global dynamics and structure of investment choices of socially-responsible investing. The analysis showed that in recent years the most dynamic investment strategy spread with maximum consideration of ESG factors, involving the formation of an investment portfolio based on a systematic combination of traditional financial analysis with assessment of environmental, social and governance impacts.

The present study examines the effect of agency-level implementation variation on the cost-effectiveness of an evidence-based parent training program (Positive Parenting Program: “Triple P”). Staff from six community-based agencies participated in a five-day training to prepare them to deliver a 12-week Triple P parent training group to caregivers. Prior to the training, administrators and staff from four of the agencies completed a site readiness process intended to prepare them for the implementation demands of successfully delivering the group, while the other two agencies did not complete the process. Following the delivery of each agency’s first Triple P group, the graduation rate and average cost per class graduate were calculated. The average cost-per-graduate was over seven times higher for the two agencies that had not completed the readiness process than for the four completing agencies ($7,811 vs. $1,052). The contrast in costs was due to high participant attrition in the Triple P groups delivered by the two agencies that did not complete the readiness process. The odds of Triple P participants graduating were 12.2 times greater for those in groups run by sites that had completed the readiness process. This differential attrition was not accounted for by between-group differences in participant characteristics at pretest. While the natural design of this study limits the ability to empirically test all alternative explanations, these findings indicate a striking cost savings for sites completing the readiness process and support the thoughtful application of readiness procedures in the early stages of an implementation initiative.
