Complementing Capital: The Role of Status, Demographic Features, and Social Capital in Founding Teams’ Abilities to Obtain Resources
研究创始团队的行业地位、人口特征和社会资本如何相互作用，影响其获取资源的能力，适用于早期技术商业化或主观质量评估的行业。
To investigate the extent to which founders can influence their firms, I formulate a framework that considers the interaction between three main facets of founding teams’ backgrounds, namely, industry status, entrepreneurially relevant demographic features, and social capital. As the propositions and illustrations suggest, the presence of one type of capital may reduce the dependence on or need for others. The model has applicability to a variety of industries with uncertain outcomes resulting from the commercialization of early–stage technology (e.g., biotechnology, nanotechnology, software, or hardware) or subjective quality (e.g., restaurants or movies).
