Sources of value creation in organizations are normally separated into three different types: financial capital (money, bank reserves, lines of credit); human capital (natural qualities such as intelligence and good health combined with skills acquired via formal education in the professional field); and social capital — relationships with colleagues, friends or contacts through which opportunities open up for using financial and human capital (Burt 1992).
