Networking Behavior and Contracting Relationships among Entrepreneurs in Business Incubators
研究了商业孵化器中企业家的两种网络行为（个人网络导向和促成他人连接导向）与商业伙伴数量之间的关系，发现两种行为都正向影响企业家给予商业任务的伙伴数量，但与接收任务的伙伴数量无关。
Many studies focus on the relationship between social networks and performance. I study networking behavior as an antecedent of tie formation among entrepreneurs in business incubators. I distinguish between two types of networking behavior: individual networking orientation or building potentially valuable ties for personal gain, and tertius iungens orientation or facilitating tie formation between others. I find that both types of networking behavior are positively related with the number of business partners to whom entrepreneurs give business assignments. Contrary to expectations, I find no relationship between networking behavior and the number of business partners from whom entrepreneurs receive business assignments.
