CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS (8463 words)
For Bourdieu, symbolic capital is the summation of cultural, economic and social capital.
Cultural capital may be embodied in the practice of an individual, or objectified whereby it appears in artefacts, such as reports, or where it is conferred on an individual by an institution in the form of prizes, diplomas and so forth.
The clash of competing regimes of symbolic capital is indicative of the complex dialectical relationships between the forces of recursiveness and structuration (Dirsmith, Heian and Covaleski, 1997) that are a commonplace part of an organizational field.
