Abstract
This chapter describes what kinds of economically relevant resources are transmitted within the personal networks of St. Petersburg IT managers. The resources can be both material (transmitting goods, loaning money) and immaterial (passing on various kinds of information, giving advice) or rendering services (fixing a computer problem, helping to write a legal document).
Practically everything where the price is not the only meaningful issue it is more effective to do through acquaintances.
(COO, director, p8)
