Exploring the construction of social capital within the student entrepreneurship sub-ecosystem
通过法国斯特拉斯堡一个创业项目的学生专业网络案例研究,发现学生创业者之间的社交关系在项目初期很强但随时间减弱,与其他参与者的关系也趋于分散,部分学生从学习者转变为子生态系统中的中介角色。
The aim of this article is to show how student entrepreneurs construct their social capital within the sub-ecosystem of student entrepreneurship. We conducted a single case study on the professional network of a cohort of students participating in an entrepreneurship programme in the city of Strasbourg in France. Analysis of their professional networks for their entrepreneurial project reveals the relational dynamics between student entrepreneurs, very strong at the beginning of the scheme but fading over time. Our results also cover the dynamics of professional relationships with other actors in the student entrepreneurship sub-ecosystem, which tend to disperse over time. However, it appears that the role of some students is changing, moving from that of student learner to that of entrepreneur who plays an intermediary role within this sub-ecosystem.
