A study on the political skill of Korean entrepreneurs contributing to social network guarantee

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to set social network, which is recently drawing the most attention in the business administration field, as a major dependent variable of political skill. It is because social network plays a very important role in improving the productivity and performance of firms, and, in actuality, many researches have proved that social network greatly contributes to firm performance.

Design/methodology/approach

Researches into social network have not yet established that “through what” or “how” social network can be formed and affected.

Findings

In this study, the authors attempt to connect social network with political skill, which is a cause variable.

Originality/value

This approach will give us a better understanding on the formation of social networks and its relationship with political skill, and so eventually, such negative recognition about the politics can be viewed from a different sight of angle.
