I've got to commend the OP here for having the guts to title this appropriately whereas Cambridge titled it "Institutions, the social capital structure, and multilevel marketing companies" when the abstract states that they explicitly (exclusively?) focus on MLMs in relation to Utah/Mormonism.

I think this is an academic thing. The authors are studying the topics in the title, and doing so by examining the LDS Church as a good example of where there is high social capital structure in the institution.
