Abstract: | This article investigates the descent, evolution and adoption of social capital by new ventures aiming at international growth. Using longitudinal case studies in the software industry, the dynamic effect of social capital on new venture internationalization is modeled. It is argued that new ventures of founders from a globally-connected environment have higher level of initial social capital than others. It is found that network learning is a key element in new ventures' ability to realize the social capital to international growth. |
