Human Capital and Search–Based Discovery: A Study of High–Tech Entrepreneurship
研究了166位大学孵化器中高科技创业者的知识经验如何帮助他们发现创业机会，发现人力资本的关键方面对搜索式发现至关重要。
What types of knowledge and experience enable those who have the desire to start a venture find an appropriate opportunity? To respond to this question, a human capital perspective is used with a sample of 166 founders of new technology ventures in university incubators. General human capital is assessed using experience depth and formal education. Specific human capital is measured using prior start–up experience as well as Shane's knowledge framework of markets, customer problems, and ways to serve markets. Findings reveal key aspects of human capital vital to explaining search–based discovery. Implications for research and entrepreneurship education are drawn.
