Abstract

The goal of any organization is to obtain resources. One way to do this is to understand how effective mechanisms and social relations become powerful allies and improve competitiveness of organizations. The aim of this paper is to analyze three indicators of social capital: culture, learning and organizational effectiveness. We wish to identify whether these indicators are effective in generating social capital in a Small and medium enterprise metalworking industry in the central region of Coahuila, Mexico. The study was conducted in the period from January to March 2012. The methodology was descriptive, crosssectional and correlational. The study findings reveal statistically significant correlations in all three indicators, as well as the underlying social capital potential.
