Motivations and challenges of network formation: Entrepreneur and intermediary perspectives
基于14次深度访谈，研究了信息通信技术领域企业家和中介在组建网络群体时的动机与挑战，发现沟通与期望问题导致短期视角，建议政策制定者与企业家合作以支持长期创业环境。
This article presents findings from 14 in-depth interviews looking into the motivations and challenges of intermediaries and entrepreneurs engaged in the formation of a networking group for the information and communication technologies sector. The findings show that issues around communication and expectations exist and that the mechanisms used to address this problem create an environment that promotes a short term perspective, overlooking the importance of social relations. To overcome these issues, it is important that policymakers and entrepreneurs work in partnership to ensure resources are targeted appropriately and in a way that is conducive to supporting an entrepreneurial environment in the long term.
