Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

According to Nan Lin, people benefit from social capital in four ways:
1. Information
2. Influence
3. Social credentials
4. Personal reinforcement
First, relationships in social networks can provide information about opportunities, alternatives, problems, and other factors important to business professionals. Second, social networks provide an opportunity to influence decision makers at one's employer or in other organizations that are critical to their success. Third, being linked to a network of highly regarded contacts is a form of social credential. One can bask in the glory of those with whom they are connected. Finally, being linked into social networks reinforces a professional's identity, image, and position in an organization or industry.
