Bringing Political Skill into Social Networks: Findings from a Field Study of Entrepreneurs
研究企业家如何通过政治技能构建和利用社交网络来提升企业绩效，基于六个月的实地访谈。
Abstract The authors integrate the entrepreneurship literature's sociological and behavioural perspectives and examine the processes through which entrepreneurs first build social networks and then use the network resources for enhancing venture performance. Field interviews of entrepreneurs during a six‐month period reveal that political skill is an important individual‐level factor that influences the construction and use of social networks. Theoretical and practical implications of the major findings are discussed.
