Abstract

In this research, we try to identify assessment criteria to enable selection of the right partners based on considerations other than technological complementarity and financing capacity. Our approach uses the concept of social capital as an indicator of the quality of the partner in an ecosystem reflective of the innovation process. Trust is a key component of a company's social capital; therefore, based on identifying prevention modes and confidence risk, we propose a proactive assessment of a partnership's "trust capital."
