Although social capital is usually analysed in sociological terms, these days it is more and more often believed to have a significant bearing on national incomes and living standards of societies. The present paper describes the importance of social capital for the creation of information society, based on information technology development. Relationships established among individuals are a characteristic trait of the development of information society. As the process of globalisation advances, social capital is increasingly frequently interpreted in the way that emphasises the attributes of these relationships. Theoretical findings have been evaluated empirically in studies that describe business networks in international food-business enterprises in Wielkopolska.
