Ojos y capital es un ensayo de textura piel y tft que oscila entre las 4 y las 15 pulgadas, habla sobre el presente y la cultura-red y amenaza con la materialidad de «lamer los ojos».Este libro, que transita por la conformacion identitaria a traves de la visualidad y la economia, se pregunta por como los ojos operan hoy como nueva moneda. Para ello, pretende identificar desarrollos contradictorios de la transformacion capitalista de un mundo conectado, excedentario en lo visual y trucado en la preeminencia de lo economico frente a clasicas y nuevas formas de politica y etica.Quiere hacerlo atravesando conceptos como sombra, mirada, desaparicion, (auto)representacion, derroche, reciprocidad, lazo moral, capitalismo o feminizacion, interpelado por las vigentes formas de creacion de valor y nueva colectividad en las redes.
Social Capital and Strategy Effectiveness: An Empirical Study of Entrepreneurial Ventures in a Transition Economy

Although new ventures’ competitive positioning and their founders’ social networks are both recognized as important in the context of transition economies, not much is known about their multiplicative effect on performance. We build on the strategic management literature and social network theory to develop theoretical predictions about the role of competitive strategies and social capital for entrepreneurial performance. These are tested with survey data from Bulgaria. We find that both the venture’s competitive strategic positioning and the founder’s networking positively influence performance. The hypothesized moderating effect of networking for the relationship between differentiation strategy and performance received only tentative support. Contrary to expectations, we find a negative moderating effect of networking for the relationship of cost leadership with performance. These results suggest that the entrepreneur’s network plays a role in shaping how strategies influence performance by possibly upholding differentiation and deemphasizing cost leadership strategy. Implications for managerial practice and public policy are discussed.

Education, healthcare and pension system are the key sources of modern economic growth. They stand in need of a profound transformation if they are to meet post-industrial challenges. The new principles of transformation of these sectors include individualization of services, their privatization (an increased role for private spending), life-long demand for these services, globalization (international competition) and the development of radically new technologies.
