Entrepreneurship is undoubtedly a social process and creating a
firm requires both the mobilisation of social networks and the use
of social capital. This book addresses the gap that exists between
the need to take these factors into consideration and the
understanding of how network relationships are developed and
transformed across the venturing process. Expert contributions from
key scholars in the field illustrate how social networks evolve
across entrepreneurial stages, using studies from different regions
across the world. Offering a comprehensive understanding, they
emphasize the role of formal networks created inside professions
and firms. Also examined is the impact of context including both
family and internationally variable institutions that can help
entrepreneurs to access resources and competencies useful for their
projects. The book concludes by emphasizing the various research
challenges: which theories are useful for our endeavors and which
new methods can be used to understand the dynamics of the venturing
process? Dynamic and eminently practical, this book will be
invaluable to scholars and students studying the entrepreneurial
process and the impact of social networks. It will also prove a
useful tool in aiding entrepreneurs to optimize the development of
their networks and better manage their entrepreneurial processes.
