演講摘要:
Granovetter in 1985 introduced the notion of embeddedness and criticized economic analysis being either under-socialized (atomized actions) or over-socialized (institutionalized actions). He argues that economy is significantly influenced by social relations. The subsequent research enterprise, the so-called new economic sociology, has focused on social relations in the economic context (within firm and inter-firm actions) and demonstrated their influence on economic outcomes. However, there has been little attention given to social relations as the context in which economic activities and actions occur. This presentation argues that social relations can provide an important context embedding economic activities and such relations are very much part of social institutions, either “natural” (e.g., ethnicity, religion, etc.) or constructed (e.g., cybernetworks). These institutionalized networks may dictate economic activities and outcomes. An integration of social institutions and social networks provide a necessary and important theoretical expansion (economic sociology 3.0?) and a sociological strategic vision in designing cybernetworks.
