The Influence of Social Network and TMT on Entrepreneur’s Opportunity Recognition Capability——Evidence from Private SMEs

摘要:

社会网络和高管团队是企业家重要的社会资源,对企业家的机会识别能力有重要影响。通过对233名民营企业家的问卷调查和回归分析发现：社会网络尤其是公共关系网络和市场网络对企业家的机会识别能力具有显著的正向影响；高管团队的平均受教育水平和行业经验对企业家的机会识别能力起着显著的促进作用。因此,为了提高机会识别能力,企业家一方面应着力构建受教育程度较高和行业经验丰富的高管团队,另一方面还需要重点拓展和维护公共关系网络和市场网络。
