Advanced monitoring techniques of a company’s social capital
description For the company, the accumulated social capital provides a reliable support for long-term trusting relationships with all stakeholder groups contributing to its stability in crises. It is at the present stage the property of social capital to help withstand various kinds of challenges seems particularly relevant. A higher educational institution in this context is not an exception. Like any other organization, a university is able to convert social capital into real economic advantage and benefit from the developed social connections. The higher education system is one of the most important areas affected by the general digitalization. In the current context, the competitiveness of any educational institution and ultimately its survival in the new information environment depend on how timely a university engages in this process. The unprecedented changes brought about by digitalization have been amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had a significant impact on social connections, transforming norms of reciprocity and trust, social relations and principles of social interaction. In the context of increasingly severe competition, social capital can become the most important intangible asset for a university, being a reliable support to form long-term trusting relationships with all stakeholder groups. It is the accumulated social capital that will enable higher education institutions to effectively withstand new challenges. It should be emphasized that any university’s social capital is closely associated with the information found both in the offline space and in the virtual environment.
