Abstract: The important role social capital has acquired in recent years, due to the characteristics of the competitive environment, and social networks from which it develops, has to undertake a study such as the present one. In this sense, considering the importance of obtaining resources and knowledge on the interactions between employees of an organization, it seems interesting to analyze its relevance within the product innovation process for the competitive demands of the business world. Thus, we pro-pose a theoretical and empirical model of social capital, based on the intellectual capital approach, but considering specific studies on this concept, from which is possible to identify their influence on product innovation. In that way, this study shows positive results regarding the relationship between the three dimensions of social capital: 1) social network, 2) shared vision and 3) trust and social support, and product innovation in spanish high and medium-high technology manufacturing firms.

Palavras-chave : social network; shared vision; trust and social support; product innovation.
