Resumo(s)
In this paper, we propose a dynamic model of
entrepreneurial firms’ dependence on
networks. First we argue that five
characteristics of entrepreneurial firms result
in their high dependence on networks; these
five characteristics include entrepreneurial
orientation, central role of the entrepreneur,
resource constraints, pursuit of flexibility, and
niche market focus. We then examine how
entrepreneurial firms’ growth is accompanied
by the evolution of these five characteristics
leading to a shift in the mode through which
entrepreneurial firms construct and deploy
their networks. In particular, we examine the
composition and the stability of
entrepreneurial firms’ networks. This paper
contributes to building a more integrative
theory of entrepreneurship.
