There is an increasing trend among Indonesian Islamic boarding schools or locally called pesantren to address the socioeconomic problems of their neighbouring communities. Over the last two decades, many pesantren have articulated that concern through operating Islamic microfinance business or popularly called BMT (Baitul Maal wat Tamwil) and other enterprise forms. However, the majority of those initiatives are not financially developing. Pesantren Sidogiri is among a few of those exhibit business success and relatively significant social benefits to the Pesantren as well as its graduates. Based on fieldwork findings and the employment of social capital theory, this paper argues that the success of Pesantren Sidogiri's three business hubs (Kopontren Sidogiri, BMT MMU, BMT UGT) is because the Pesantren has successfully mobilised and managed its rich social capital which is embedded in the Pesantren's social networks. That social networks have constantly been managed and developed through appropriable social organisations and closure of social networks. The former is evident in the Pesantren's program of Affiliating Madrasah (madrasah ranting) and Teacher-Internship (guru tugas), while the latter in the Alumni Association (himpunan alumni) and the publication of monthly-Bulletin Sidogiri. These two streams have intentionally or unintentionally provided the Pesantren with a ready-use of social capital to be converted as economic capital in its economic projects. Abstrak Terdapat trend yang meningkat di kalangan pesantren untuk turut menjawab masalah social-ekonomi masyarakat di sekitarnya. Dalam dua decade terakhir, banyak pesantren telah mencurahkan perhatian mereka melalui lembaga keuangan Islam atau BMT (Baitul Maal wat Tamwil) dan berbagai bentuk usaha lain. Kendati demikian, mayoritas inisiatif semacam itu tidak berkembang secara keuangan. Pesantren Sidogiri di Pasuruan, Jawa Timur adalah salah satu dari sedikit yang sukses dan menunjukkan kemanfaatan social signifikan bagi Pesantren tersebut beserta alumninya. Berdasarkan temuan riset lapangan dan penggunaan teori modal social, artikel ini berargumen bahwa kesuksesan tiga unit usaha Pesantren Sidogiri (Kopontren Sidogiri, BMT MMU, BMT UGT) adalah karena Pesantren ini berhasil memobilisasi dan mengelola modal sosialnya yang begitu kaya, yang terkandung dalam jaringan social Pesantren ini.

A Village-Owned Enterprise (VOE) is a commercial institution established for the service of rural communities. This business entity involves a number of people with one common goal. The sustainability of such an institution at the rural level is influenced by many factors, including good relations between government and business entity managers based on strong social capital. This study aims to analyse social capital in the management communications of the VOE in Cangkudu Village, Banten. The results show that the VOE in Cangkudu Village was frozen due to several things, namely: (1) the trust between the management and the village government is low, so institutionally there was a disconnect between the communication and coordination networks in Cangkudu Village; (2) The VOE managers tried to free themselves from the intervention of the Cangkudu Village government; (3) There was a violation of the norm by the manager, especially regarding the loss of communication and coordination or reporting of the VOE activities to the Village Head as the commissioner of the business entity. Thus, the stagnation of the VOE in Cangkudu Village is due to the lack of social capital existing between the village manager and the government.
