Abstract

To explore the activation mechanism of external social capital of entrepreneurial team, and improve the entrepreneurial success rate.Researchers Researchers used case research to investigate three typical entrepreneurial teams, obtained data by tracking survey, and then used SNA method visually analyzed entrepreneurial teams’ network characteristics and evolution rules. Our results show that in the start-up stage, strong ties of team members are more effective than weak ties on the activation of the external social capital. With the deepening of the entrepreneurial process, the weak ties are becoming more effective on the activation of external social capital. Furthermore, personal social networks sharing and mastering more structural holes are favor for the acquisition and integration of external social capital.
