The Development of Social Capital: On Managing Game-Players, Trade-off Makers and Low-Keys

This paper looks at how service professionals in the audit and consulting industry manage their social capital, i.e. their networks at a critical career stage: When they become project managers. We identify three prototypes of networkers, the game-players, the trade-off makers and the low-keys. The paper characterizes each prototype and confirms the descriptive validity by demonstrating how these prototypes are correlated to other network variables.
