  Introduction “The touchstone ofsocial capital is the principle of generalized reciprocity. I’ll do this for you now, without expecting anything immediately in return and perhaps without even knowing you, confident that down the road you or someone else will return the favor.” Putnam (2000)

  Direct Reciprocity vs. GeneralizedReciprocity You help me and I help you. You help me and I help someone else (pay it forward).

  “Designers call thesemeetings to seek the help of other designers at IDEO who are not already involved in the project…. The designers who attend brainstorming sessions do so because they believe they can contribute distinctive technical solutions to the problem and because, if they don’t help with others’ projects, the favor will not be returned.” “These interactions made visible the norms for asking for help, sharing knowledge, and giving help….” Hargadon and Sutton 1997 Organizational Practices: Brainstorming & Monday Morning Meetings
