We’ve transitioned from a world where innovations were assumed to be the result of isolated inventors and researchers to one where social capital is assumed to play a major role in innovative breakthroughs. Yet, we are only starting to understand how social networks facilitate innovation and what types of innovations benefit the most from these networks.
Mark Youndt’s research activities revolve around the intersections of strategic management, intellectual capital, innovation, and competitive advantage. More specifically, his most recent work examines how human, social, and organizational capital influence organizations innovative capabilities; how strategic human resource management activities help develop and leverage intellectual capital for competitive advantage; and how the strategic management of human capital influences the performance of service firms.

Notice to Trainees
WHY WE NEED YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
Act 192 of the 2008 Vermont Legislature requires employers and other training providers receiving support from the state to provide the social security number of each individual participating in the training to the department of state government supporting the training. The social security number will be used to gather wage information from the Department of Labor's files after you complete training, in order to evaluate the training program.
The Departments of Labor and Economic Development must provide information on the employment outcomes of training programs to the Legislature. Your information will be combined with information of other trainees to ensure your privacy and the privacy of your employer. The law requires the departments to keep your information confidential.
