Individual social capital of entrepreneurs: a multidimensional measurement approach

Author
Organization
Abstract
Social network embeddedness lowers the transaction costs for firms’ entrepreneurs and enables them to obtain access to information and resources at a price below market-costs. We argue that the access to and use of this entrepreneurial social capital entails a complex interplay of structural, relational and mobilization dimensions both at the local and extended level. By grouping types of entrepreneurs based on these multiple dimensions we show the unequal distribution of social capital across entrepreneurial populations and identify distinct social capital configurations to affect specific entrepreneurial outcomes.
